In today’s developed world there are a lot of sophisticated technologies in our daily basis which are sometimes very complex to understand. That’s why some old people really struggle to use them. In this essay I will write about consequences of this problem and what kind of course of action we can use to decrease its negative impacts on people.
First of all, main cause to this problem is that many elderly people have used to live in simple life back in 20 century, so these new technologies seem very odd to them. Even if they wanted to learn how to use these devices, it would be very hard task for them, because they do not have good memory to remember the major points required to control these devices. Also, youngsters are growing up around these new technologies and they know how to use them from young age.
However, I do not think that there is a one optimum solution for this issue. Mainly because while some people who are over the age of fifty might be able to learn how to use these new technologies, others would not. They may need a new type of technologies which are coincide with their lifestyle. Also, youngsters can teach their grandparents how to use these innovative technologies.
In conclusion, even though it might seem difficult issue to solve, it is not. There are many ways to solve this problem using new type of technologies or help of old people’s families.
