Difficulties when older people use technology

The rapid development of technology, complex requirements make many people find it difficult to access and use daily.

According to the International Telecommunication Union (ITU)’s 2020 Facts and Figures report, least developed countries have 19% of the population using the Internet. In particular, the elderly are often less convenient when using digital devices.

The reason is, elderly people often forget, the way to use some technology products is quite complicated, it takes many steps to operate. Some parents fear the cost of spending or the high price of the product compared to the average income.

Some people shared that they find it difficult to connect with young people in the modern era. The modern pace of life makes it easy for young people to lose patience or not have the time to give parents step-by-step instructions on how to use technology.

According to a representative of the home appliance company Beko, for the elderly, not only should focus on physical health, but also pay special attention to mental health. Because, according to research from the National Institute on Aging (NIA), feelings of social isolation can increase the risk of premature death in the elderly. According to a study, loneliness in the elderly can even increase the risk of dementia – Alzheimer’s.
