With today’s advancements in communications combined with computers and handhold devices, we now have multiple ways to connect and socialize regardless of the distance. However, the communication method of choice is often dictated by one’s age, and each age group bas gravitated (受吸引) to that method with which they have become most familiar and comfortable.
For example, most of those in our young generation have embraced email and cell phones. We use email to communicate with our friends or business associates because it’s easy and convenient, especially for spanning times zones. Email also allows us time to work out our thoughts as we create the message and is less intrusive than a phone call. Most of us also own cell phones, although the primary reason is often to have a means of contacting others in the event of an emergency. Also growing in popularity are services such as Skype that enable us to make free or low-cost phone calls from our computers.
But many in my generation are also caught between the resistance of our parents’ older generation to new technology and the lightening-fast adoption to instant ways of connecting exhibited by our children and others of younger generations. Many older adults in our lives would rather keep in touch by means of their land-line house phone. This creates a dilemma for those of us who have become accustomed to more modern forms of communication. As our parents and grandparents age, we encourage them to take advantage of modern technology and carry a cell phone or use email so we can easily keep in touch, but they often resist bemuse of the cost and complexity.
Fortunately there are some modern conveniences that do a better job of bridging the gap between today’s technology and yesterday’s comfort level. The Jitterbug cell phone, for example, was designed for seniors and is much easier to use than most other cell phones. It also offers that familiar feel of the traditional phone with its use of a dial tone and access to a friendly operator when you dial zero. And if the older adults in your life can’t afford or are overwhelmed by a computer, there are products like MyCelery (a two-way communication method using familiar fax hardware) and Presto (a communication service offering one-way delivery of photos and letters) that can help them be connected enough to enjoy the instant gratification (满意) of receiving digital pictures or a quick e-note. The younger generation is less into using email and more into instant connections using SMS (Short Message Service) ,also known as text messaging or texting, on their cell phones. One way to win brownie (核仁巧克力饼) points with your grandkids is to flex your thumbs on your cell phone keypad and send them text messages, According to a recent poll by Cingular Wireless, the majority of parents who text their children felt that it improved communications with their kids and made them easier to reach.
