Xing Yuxi, 12, Chongqing
The Internet has influenced (影响) the old people in my family a lot. My grandfather is a “nerd” now. He asked me to teach him how to play the popular video game King of Glory (《王者荣耀》). I’m surprised that he shows a great interest in this! He talks to family members on WeChat every day. He tries to learn other new things as well. So, as we can see, the Internet can help elderly people.

My grandmother has been using a mobile phone designed for old people for a long time. She thinks that the Internet is useful. She can see mobile navigation (导航) to find her way. She wants to get a smartphone so she can learn more. Still, she doesn’t trust cashless payment (无现金支付) apps like Alipay. While I enjoy shopping online and paying for things with Alipay, my grandmother still prefers to use cash and buys everything in the supermarket.
