Chapter 195: How to Crack the Internet Addiction in the Elderly

Lin Qinglan feels that there are both advantages and disadvantages to letting uncles and aunts learn to use mobile phones.

There are too many people complaining to her recently.

Cai Yunyun asked her to take care of Aunt Zhong who was addicted to skits.

Xiao Zhou asked Uncle Zhou to take a class on how to prevent online shopping addiction.

There is also Uncle Qian who is addicted to his phone, Uncle Li who watches live broadcasts every day, and Old Fu who listens to novels while walking...

It can be said that uncles and aunts are fully immersed in mobile phone applications, watching dramas, novels, games, and live broadcasts.

Some uncles and aunts have lived most of their lives without myopia, but they got glasses a few months after retirement.

However, there was no good solution to this problem. The children came to Lin Qinglan, and she was also worried.

Games can have anti-addiction settings for teenagers, so do we also have to add anti-addiction settings for middle-aged and elderly people like uncles and aunts?

In order not to let down the trust of her family members and for the sake of the health of her uncle and aunt, Lin Qinglan decided to "reason" with them.

Several people with the most serious internet addiction were called together for a "talk".

……

Aunt Zhong and Aunt Xu heard it as soon as they entered the door.

"He was originally a war god, but was harmed by a villain and thrown into prison. During the seven years in prison, he worshipped a great god from another world as his master, drew Qi into his body, and awakened his immortal body. The Dragon King returned, and China was shocked."

Aunt Zhong felt embarrassed when she heard this. She looked at the source of the sound and saw Old Fu, who was immersed in listening to a novel.

"How can you, at your age, watch such unrealistic things every day?"

Old Fu sat up straight and retorted: "You are still blaming me? Do you think those things are in line with reality?"

Aunt Zhong's expression changed several times, and the phone in her pocket rang, "After getting married to a boss at the age of 40, I became the darling of the rich family."

Old Fu immediately seized on the evidence and said, "The short dramas about domineering bosses shot on mobile phones are all lies. If you don't believe me, check and find out that the actress is definitely not 40 years old, and the actor who plays the domineering boss is definitely not 50 years old."

Aunt Zhong was led to search for it and was surprised to find that the actress's white hair and wrinkles were all special effects makeup. Her actual age was only 30 years old, and the actor was also a dozen years younger than in the drama.

"No wonder I always think they look younger than I did when I was in my 40s."

“Yeah, the elderly bosses in real life are all like me.” Old Fu raised his chin proudly.

Aunt Zhong imagined bringing Old Fu’s face into a skit, and suddenly she didn’t want to watch it anymore.

In the corner, the sound of a game victory came from Uncle Qian's phone.

Old Fu and Aunt Zhong looked at each other and said at the same time: "You play games every day, do you still want your eyes?"

When Uncle Qian plays games, he is used to setting the screen very bright. Now when they talk about this, he also feels dry eyes.

"You guys are right. It's really blinding. I'll wear sunglasses later."

"No, even with sunglasses on, the phone screen is still small. Let me give you my tablet to play with." The helpful Uncle Li forced the tablet on Uncle Qian.

Uncle Zhou lowered his voice and asked, "Why don't you persuade him that playing games is bad for his eyes? Why do you encourage him?"

Uncle Li smiled in an unfathomable way, "You don't understand, you will know in a moment."

Uncle Zhou looked at Uncle Qian, then at Uncle Li, "I heard that you stay up late every day to watch live broadcasts. I advise you to watch less in the future."

"I have a relative who spent tens of thousands of dollars on a live streamer, and his son was so angry that he almost kicked him out of the house."

"This relative you are talking about is not you, is it?" Uncle Li asked sharply.

Uncle Zhou scratched his head awkwardly, "We can still be good friends even if we don't say it out loud."

Old Fu appeared quietly behind Uncle Zhou and said, "When you buy express delivery in the future, you must read the comments section carefully. If you don't understand, ask the merchant. Don't be fooled all the time."

The old friends all knew everything about Uncle Zhou's express delivery and followed him around to persuade him every day.

Uncle Qian sighed deeply, looked up to the sky and shouted: "I don't want to play games anymore."

"The tablet doesn't work at all for playing games. It's so frustrating."

Old Fu came over to take a look and found that he had lost three games in a row.

Aunt Xu, who had been silent the whole time, suddenly asked, "Didn't Principal Xiao Lin call us here today to talk about cell phones? Where is she?"

Uncle Li slapped his forehead, as if he suddenly thought of something: "I understand, it's not Principal Lin who is talking to us, but letting us talk on our own."

“We don’t want to face our own problems, but we are fully aware of other people’s problems.”

Aunt Zhong and Lao Fu criticized each other for watching unrealistic things. Uncle Li used a tablet to dampen Uncle Qian's enthusiasm for playing games. Uncle Zhou used examples to persuade Uncle Li to watch less live broadcasts. Lao Fu told Uncle Zhou to buy less express deliveries.

Lin Qinglan pushed the door open at this time and said, "It seems that everyone has finished talking."

"Have you also found yourself a little too dependent on your mobile phone?"

The uncles and aunts were unusually silent and nodded in unison.

"Think about it, if your child is addicted to mobile phones every day, what would you do?"

Old Fu answered quickly: "Hit him, that's outrageous."

The truth is there, but you are being too blunt.

"The principle is the same. My family cares about you just as much."

"In fact, there is no effective way to quit Internet addiction, but we might as well make a switch."

"Set aside some time for yourself to have fun, and use the rest of the time to do more exercise and cultivate hobbies, which can also enrich your life."

The main reason why the elderly are addicted to mobile phones is lack of companionship.

In addition to talking to her uncle and aunt, Lin Qinglan also communicated with her family members.

In the lives of the elderly, lonely gray is the background color, and mobile phones may give them a brief burst of brilliant colors.

For example, uncles and aunts always use heavy special effects when shooting Douyin videos, some of which young people may find tacky. But the elderly don’t understand, they just think that special effects can cover up wrinkles and gray hair and make themselves look younger.

After watching and listening to the skits and novels, their world remains silent and gray, so for liveliness’ sake, they will continue to play the next episode.

To get them to put down their phones, you cannot just complain. When you have free time, don’t just hold two phones in silence. Chat and give each other more company.
