How to help the elderly use their mobile phones better? How to effectively help the elderly improve the ability to use intelligent technology?

On June 21, CCTV's "Economic Half Hour" column focused on the problem of aging aging.

Focusing on helping the elderly to solve the wheat applets that use mobile phones without any revenue. At present, Ye Ziming has participated with more than a dozen young people. "We are all post -90s. The average age is 267. Some people are responsible for research and development, some people do product design, and some people are responsible for visual production. Development of wheat age is not our job. It is a non -profit project. Everyone gathers because I want to do this. "

Before the development of Mai Ling, Ye Ziming paid a long time for "the elderly had difficulty using a smartphone". "The parents of several friends in our team do not use their mobile phones. At the beginning, we set up a group named" Teaching Parents to Play Mobile "in Douban. After the establishment, we see that many young people have the confusion of "how to teach parents to play with mobile phones", and there is no tool for teaching the elderly on the market how to use mobile phones. Therefore, we have the idea of ​​developing a teaching tool. It's the origin of Mai Ling. "

Since its launch in October last year, there have been more than 10,000 Douban groups in the "Teaching Parents Playing their mobile phones." With Mai Ling Mini Program, these young people have begun to make various teaching videos for the elderly. "For example, my grandma does not grab the consumer coupon. When I encounter this problem, I will go to Mai Ling to search for it. If someone has shared it, I can send this video directly to my grandma. Not good enough, I can also make one on the age of Mai. In this way, when others search for this question for grandparents, you can see the video I made. "

During the development of Mai Ling, Ye Ziming encountered a lot of interesting things, which prompted him to continuously upgrade the wheat age, which is also his motivation to use the rest time to develop wheat age. "Old people are very serious in learning. Once, a grandfather learned a mobile phone skill of how to buy vegetables. He wrote two pages of learning notes on our tutorial, and then took pictures to send notes to our operations to our operations He also left a message asking: "Teacher, I'm right? '"

Initially, the teaching video made by Mai Ling was to guide the elderly to operate how to learn from the order step by step. Later, with the above -mentioned old grandfather's expectation of "there is a teacher instruction", Mai Ling joined the wrong voice prompts and screen reminders, and also added a navigation bar that supported the elderly to switch the tutorial. "Now, when the elderly learn through wheat age, you can click on the operation. If the operation is wrong, there is a voice prompt, which can be switched at will. For example: the previous step is forgotten, you can go back to the previous step and see it again."

Ye Ziming said to reporters hope that more young people will participate in this public welfare action to help the elderly learn to use mobile phones.
