SOME OLDER PEOPLE STRUGGLE WITH THE USE OF MODERN ELECTRONIC TECHNOLOGICAL GADGETS  SUCH AS SMARTPHONES AND COMPUTERS. WHAT ARE THE CAUSES OF IT AND PROPOSE SOME SOLUTIONS.



The geriatric population are intimidated by digital technological gadgets usage. Across the globe, golden-ager group who grew up in a pre-digital era are finding it strenuous to manoeuvre these widgets. The upcoming paragraphs deal with the causes of this issue and will offer some suggestions to lend a hand to them in using the same.

To begin with, technology has driven a variety of societal, medical and technical trends which has become an integral part of people's daily lives. However, there are still roadblocks that need to be considered and addressed for senior citizens in using technology. Firstly, the visual functions decrease as people age which has repercussions on acuity in spotting minuscule details on screen. Secondly, some older people put off using online tools because they see them as being arduous and time-consuming. Thirdly, security concerns are omnipresent among the old fogey, with many of them lacking confidence in their own knowledge of how to navigate the online tools properly. For instance, particular apps like G pay, internet banking, Paytm and MobiKwik, being user friendly cannot be easily accessed by retired people despite their safety measures of these applications. Fourthly, owing to technological malpractice such as cyberbullying, older people are petrified to operate the apps or websites. 

To resolve the issue of difficulty in the usage of gadgets by elderly, simple devices and apps which are better designed for ageing hands and eyes should be fashioned. Although many centres across the globe are offering courses for the usage of apps, the reach of the same is scanty. Additionally, Tablet computers, which have bigger screens are recommended to use than smartphones or laptops. 

At the same time, old people should be advised to use devices like ALEXA or SIRI as they have an inbuilt voice command feature which recognises the voice command given by them. All the devices should be equipped with voice recognition software and inbuilt memory storage capacity so that they can not only remind the elders about the daily routine duties like taking medicines, prescription refills, set a timer for doing laundry and setting up of wake up alarm, but also should be able to perform few activities like sending emails, messages, pictures and voice messages to others. 

Furthermore, youngsters can lend their hand in educating their patriarchs about these devices with extreme patience which eventually lead to the upsurge in the utilisation of digital devices by the elderly.

Some people think that intelligence is innate, while others think we can improve our intelligence through learning. Discuss both sides and give your opinion? Intelligence is measured by IQ. A person is more intelligent only when he has more IQ, although we can improve our IQ by working on it. Intelligent people can analyze spontaneously, think intellectually and their memory is also at a good standard. As every coin has 2 sides in the same way every argument has more than one opinion. Some people think intelligence is innate although many others think intelligence can be improved. In my subsequent paragraphs, I will explain both sides more broadly.   Many people think intelligence is inborn and  children will get genes from their parents or ancestors. So if a person or his ancestor has a good IQ, it can be inherited by their children not only IQ but also many qualities can be inherited f om  Parents. If a person is a singer or a dancer then his or her child gets that talent from their

Discuss both these views and give your opinion. Environment, the most essential term for human life plays a major role in the cycle of nature. These days the environmental conditions are degrading day by day, few of them say, extinction of species in biotic organisms is one of the causes. Others say that there are different environmental problems. I'm going to discuss both of them in my writeup.

In some countries, more and more people are becoming interested in finding about the history of the house or building they live in. What are the reasons for this? How can people research this?   Many people probe into the stories of their homes to find the history of the house or building they live in simply because they are curious. Most cities have been in existence since a long period of time and many of its ancient buildings are examples of the stories she (the city) has to narrate to those who’ve forgotten about her.   Many people get into fields related to the study of such stories and buildings whereas, the others research about this out of their inquisitiveness.
