After watching the National People’s Congress deputies’ suggestion to set up a short video anti-addiction mode for the elderly, I feel that it is really necessary. Based on the situation of the elderly in our family, let’s talk about some benefits of this for the elderly:

1. It can prevent various diseases caused by sitting for a long time and using the eyes for a long time.

Let’s talk about the situation at home first. My mother is seventy years old. In the past few years, she danced square dance every night. However, due to an accidental fall two years ago, I injured my legs and arms. I was treated in the hospital and later came back to recuperate. Now I have been unable to move around for more than a year. Although I have recovered as before, my family no longer has any problems. I dare not let the elderly go out to do big exercises anymore. In order to relieve the boredom of the elderly at home, we recommended the short video websites that they usually watch to the elderly. At first, they only watched them occasionally, but later they were attracted by the funny and health videos. I just sit on the sofa and watch short videos when I have nothing to do. In the end, except for the usual time of cooking and cleaning the room, I watched it all the time. I didn't feel any problem at first, but later my mother often complained that her waist hurt after sitting for a while, and the previous symptoms of dry eye were more severe than before. Only gradually did we realize the seriousness of the problem. I went to the hospital for a check-up and the doctor said that the flexibility of the old man's bones was not good to begin with. Due to long-term eye use and sitting, the old man's lumbar spine, cervical spine and eyes were damaged.

2. If the elderly and children live together in the family, it will also have a bad impact on the children.

My mother takes care of the children at home. In the past, the children and their mother often went to square dances. After my mother became inconvenient, she switched to watching short videos at home. The children also became obsessed with this and now often watch them on their mobile phones with their grandma at home. This kind of bad driving effect is sometimes difficult for us as daughters and parents to communicate with. Because there will also be some disputes with the mother about the issue of children playing with mobile phones, which is not conducive to family harmony.

Third, it can eliminate some false information and prevent the elderly from being deceived.

The most popular short videos now are short videos about how the elderly maintain their health. On the surface, these videos teach the elderly how to maintain their health, but in fact they promote various health care products. Sometimes in order to promote products, they often fabricate some cases and spread some wrong health knowledge. In addition, current video software has precise control over people's viewing preferences. It is difficult for the elderly to resist a large number of pushes in a short period of time. For example, my mother, who had never believed in these propaganda before, once bought health products worth more than 1,000 yuan online without a manufacturer's address or registered trademark. He also said to us: "As mentioned in the video, the older people get, the more they must learn to care for themselves." Hey, it's hard to describe the hardships of being called children!

Of course, the setting of short video anti-addiction mode for the elderly must be different from that of children. It must be set up to be more humane and caring, showing respect and care for the elderly. After all, there is a big difference between the elderly and children. They have independent interpretation ability, and the elderly pay more attention to the outside world's attitude towards themselves, and sometimes they can be very sensitive. Therefore, when setting up the system, you should focus on reminders, use some warm love-watching words, briefly state the pros and cons, and propose some tips to divert attention. How to repeat reminders multiple times. Do not use a one-time forced cut-off method. This will make it easier for the elderly to accept it. At the same time, it is also necessary to strengthen supervision of content video platforms pushed by the elderly, and check the source. Ensure that the content to be pushed to the elderly is correct and beneficial.
