The Smart Age for China’s Empty-nesters
Every time Ai Yuanxi turns on the TV, the first pictures she sees are those from her son. He lives in Berlin and sends pictures of her 16-month-old grandson to her TV every day.
"It’s amazing that you can receive pictures on TV," says the 65-year-old grandmother, who lives in east China’s Hangzhou city. "It’s handy and the pictures are way bigger than those on cell phones or computer screens. It’s like my grandson is right in front of me. "
As China’s population ages, some Internet-based products are becoming more user-friendly for the elderly who are less familiar with the technology.
These smart products can help parents and their children maintain a comfortable distance, thus keeping close bonds without getting involved in each other’s life too much.
The number of empty-nesters is rapidly growing with young people leaving their rural hometowns to seek opportunities in the cities. In big cities, the problem is no less serious, but even more complicated, particularly among families with well-educated children, as their offspring go abroad.
Jiang Feng, founder of Judou Technology Company, says the buyers and users of the Judou TV box are different. The buyers are mostly in their 30s while the users are their parents who are in 60s. "Many children feel sorry about leaving their parents. The device offers a way to stay connected," Jiang says. The box enables young people to download a film from the Internet directly to their parents’ TV, which might be thousands of kilometers away.
Parents can video chat with the family on TV while the children can answer video calls on their cell phones any time. Jiang says old people are curious about new technology, just like young people, but the fear of being incompetent intimidates them. "So when designing products for them, my guiding principle is making them easy to use. "

The Smart Age as Good News tor China’s Empty-nesters
In today’s China, more and more young people leave their hometowns for the sake of better opportunities in big cities or even abroad, leaving their parents at home. Thanks to the user-friendly smart Internet-based products, these lonely souls can have an instant telecommunication with their faraway family members. In my viewpoint, devices that facilitate the old generation, especially the empty-nesters, should be promoted for the following two reasons.
First of all, unlike the youngsters who are obsessed with the Internet-oriented entertainment, the older generation focus more on the basic function of smart gadgets—communication. Smart products narrow the geographical distance, which, as a result, seems not a barrier in the least for their communication. For example, telecommunication in the form of video chat makes it not an issue at all—empty-nesters can keep a close bond with their children wherever they are. This definitely helps comfort the solitary hearts and repel the turgidity of their life at dusk. Besides, on top of communication, empty-nesters can make emergency calls through smartphones connected with hospital aids or their emergency contacts in case of a sudden illness. The first-hand aid will arrive duly with the least delay, which will save the extremely valuable time for a dying person.
In conclusion, the benefits brought by new technology for the empty-nesters should be cheered and touted. Innovation clusters should not neglect the urgent call of the old but rather bulldoze the inconvenience that intimidates the old.
