Section 3 How to meet the spiritual needs of the elderly through the Internet?

As a special group, the elderly basically have a lot of leisure time that can be dominated by themselves. More and more elderly people have deeply appreciated the importance of the Internet to life after using the Internet. The network enriches their spiritual life, improves the quality of life, expands the social scope, and is more conducive to physical and mental health.

1. Meet the needs for social networking

With the advancement of science and technology and the popularization of smart devices, silver -haired people have become another big goal for social platforms to rush. In the past, most of the social models of the elderly were mainly WeChat. In addition to WeChat chat, sharing fun things in the circle of friends, forwarding public account push, etc. are all inherent models for the elderly to use WeChat to socialize. In the past two years, the social model of the elderly is no longer limited to WeChat, but diverges to multiple platforms (Wu Yijuan, 2021).

WeChat is no longer a social platform that the elderly is keen, and replaced by short video platforms such as Douyin and Kuaishou. The video mode made the middle -aged and elderly people who were tired of typing found a new breakthrough. Rich content, stronger entertainment, and simple operation are the reasons why the elderly transferred social platforms from WeChat to short video platforms. Even in the eyes of many elderly people, WeChat is just a chat software, and Douyin and Kuaishou are the real social platform.

It is natural for the elderly to open emerging social networking, but the premise is to ensure that it can give the elderly a safe and harmonious social platform.

2. Meet the needs of self -realization

Click on some websites that the elderly communicate, and we can find that while many elderly people get new knowledge in this way, they are more displayed to their peers and young people. They are not taboo to say their age, thinking that it is a matter of pride that the elderly learning and old.

Through the network platform, they share their own views on social, political and cultural issues, convey their own news to their families or friends, and talk about the same beliefs and hobbies with like -like people. These are a window for the elderly to express themselves to the Internet public.

In addition, network resources provides platforms for elderly users with news, information, entertainment, and lifelong learning (Wu Dan and Li Yizhen, 2015). The timeliness and full coverage of the network make their lives keep up with the auction of the times, full of modern atmosphere, and gain a sense of accomplishment.

3. Meet the needs for respect

The elderly want to get more spiritual care from the family and society, and have the requirements of participating in the society and joining the group (Zhang Quan and Xing Zhanjun, 2016). Many elderly people think that the Internet has reduced the gap between them and young people.

Because the elderly through the Internet understand the thoughts and life of young people, it is easier to eliminate each other. Of course, sometimes there are some "unexpected harvests", because the elderly will go online, it is not easy to be coaxed by teenagers. For example, Sun Tzu said, "I am studying the Internet", and grandparents who understand the Internet say "No, you are actually playing games." They are all clearly, and they will find ways to supervise the grandson to put down their mobile phones and do their homework.

Case

Many elderly people think that through the Internet, they and young people have shrunk. Aunt Wang had no common topic with her daughter, but after surfing the Internet, she learned to use Weibo, her daughter also had Weibo. She knew that Weibo was upgraded. Her daughter did not know. the distance between.
