However, the older generation is afraid of using an internet smartphone because they always question the privacy and security of such technologies. Though, they can be motivated to use it by generating awareness, teaching and providing handholding support. For example, we gifted a smartphone to my grandfather on his ‘diamond jubilee’ birthday but he was affirmative to not to use the phone as it was complex for him to use. But once I and my younger brother had shown him each and every function of the phone and use of the internet, he found it easy and now using it at the same pace we are using.
In nutshell, if one can teach and motivate the senior citizen on the usefulness of mobile and internet, this generation can do wonders in using this technology for their individual benefits.
