Why do some elderly people in the village prefer to use old mobile phones instead of smart phones?

As I get older, my eyes and ears decrease. The old machine is loud and has buttons. So the elderly like to use it.

I'm happy to answer your question.

Why don't some elderly people use smart phones? The following is my answer.

The old machine is very suitable for people who are a little old (I don't know how old you are, all I see are grandparents using it) or around 50 to 60 years old.

1. It's enough for him to listen to the news without consuming electricity a day.

2. Older people don't have a good voice, and the elderly phone can meet his needs (it is estimated that people who have stayed in the countryside have heard the elderly talking about the elderly phone, and the volume is generally not as good as that of the mobile phone)

3. Smartphones have too many functions. For some older people, it is a bit difficult to operate. After all, he doesn't need any wechat or Tik Tok, except for the special tide.

4. The prices of old-age computers and smart phones are also different. Even if the smart machine is cheap, there are thousands of categories, but the old man-machine is different. Five hundred categories are acceptable to the general elderly.

The above is my personal experience in using the pension machine according to my family members around me, hoping to help you.

I'm glad to answer your question.

For your question, why do uncles and aunts prefer to use pension machines instead of smart phones?

i am living out in the country. There are actually many elderly people using smart phones around rhubarb. For example, Rhubarb's mother, who is over 50 years old, used to use an elderly mobile phone. But when Dahuang bought a new mobile phone, he gave his mother the original smart phone. In fact, her mother doesn't even know pinyin. At first, she was not used to it. She hardly taught to answer the phone. After a period of time, she can watch videos, listen to music and brush small videos. It can be seen that as long as smart phones are commonly used and some people are willing to teach, the elderly are not exclusive to smart phones and are willing to use them.

Now let me tell you that there are several reasons for what you saw.

1. The mind is solidified and it is not easy to accept new things.

In fact, for older people, the mobile phone is just answering the phone in their hands, and all other functions have no influence on them, so they are reluctant to learn to master the new mobile phone compared with the old mobile phone they are already familiar with.

2. Mobile phones are expensive.

In fact, the elderly have a simple and frugal character in essence. It's also a mobile phone. Just answer the phone. The price of mobile phones for the elderly is much lower than that of smart phones. (There is another story here. For example, my father's phone bill for the elderly is only 30 yuan per month, and the phone bill for smart phones is basically around 50 yuan. )

3. No one teaches

In fact, many children buy smart phones for their elders and will teach them some basic usage at first. However, after all, the elderly are old and have poor learning ability and memory. They need to be constantly taught to get used to it. But now many young people in rural areas have gone out to work, and most of them are away from home for a long time. For the elderly, they can't control their smartphones, and they will think that smartphones are still easy to use.

Rhubarb probably analyzed several reasons why the elderly are unwilling to use smart phones, hoping the answer can help you.

First of all; The function of smart phone is too complicated and sensitive. Older people are less flexible, less educated and less receptive than young people. Young people are unwilling to teach them how to use smart phones. [Yiya] Therefore, older people are more inclined to be old-fashioned. The function of the old man-machine is simple, and the voice of the mobile phone is loud, so the old people naturally choose to use the old man-machine

Because some older people in the village have a low level of education, it is a bit difficult to use smart phones. When they are old, they don't want to think. Just answer the phone.

1: The old man's ears are not very good, and the old man's voice is loud.

Because I just answer the phone more, the old man-machine is simple and easy to use.

There are also many illiterate people who can't use smart phones.

Hello, I'm China Happy Line. I'm talking about why some elderly people in the village don't want to use smart phones, but use old ones. I describe it from three conveniences.

First of all, from an economic point of view, older people, I call them old people here. Some of this generation (70-80 years old) have experienced wars and natural disasters, and they live in an era of material poverty. They have a glorious tradition of frugality and housekeeping. It is good to buy enough things. Smart phones are several times more expensive than the old ones, so choose the old ones. There is also saving electricity.

Secondly, from a complex and simple point of view, the smart phone is a touch screen, and when the phone comes, it hangs up inadvertently. My mother made several mistakes in the operation. Some 70-to 80-year-old rural elderly people have never been to school, and their learning ability is weak, so they can't learn the menu inside.

Third, the real purpose of the elderly owning a mobile phone is to make a phone call and contact their children, who can contact the elderly.

To sum up, the older rural elderly are more willing to use the elderly machine.

I think smart phones have too many functions and are too complicated. Old people's hands and feet are not so flexible and their heads can't remember so many functions. The old man-machine operation is simple and the font is large, which is easy for the old to accept.
