How to help 280 million elderly people bridge the "digital divide"? Recently, it was learned through research that multiple departments and measures have been taken in China to carry out the "Smart Elderly Assistance" campaign, enabling elderly people to "retire" and "enjoy old age" in the digital age.

Encourage publicly published books and newspapers to be equipped with accessible formats such as audio, large characters, and electronic versions, making it easier for the elderly to read; Encourage Internet websites and mobile Internet applications in the fields of social communication, life shopping, health care, transportation and travel, and gradually comply with the accessibility website design standards and national information accessibility standards... The accessibility environment construction law just passed by the vote is an important step in China's active response to population aging.

The "Implementation Plan for Effectively Solving the Difficulties of the Elderly in Using Intelligent Technology", the "General Design Specification for Internet Website Adaptation to Aging" and the "General Design Specification for Mobile Internet Application Adaptation to Aging" were released, and the "Smart Help the Elderly" action was carried out... A series of documents and action measures are constantly advancing.

To help the elderly better adapt and integrate into a smart society, many regions have also introduced corresponding measures. Beijing accelerates the promotion of barrier free transformation of websites and APP applications; Shanghai has launched the action of integrating digital education for the elderly into communities, serving every elderly person in need and allowing them to enjoy the convenience brought by urban intelligence and digitization

Among them, the proportion of people aged 60 and above has significantly increased, reaching 14.3%.

To ensure that the elderly use intelligent technology to meet their medical needs, some hospitals are also constantly innovating and practicing.

The relevant person in charge of the Aging Health Department of the National Health Commission introduced that in the face of the practical needs of billions of elderly people, various regions and departments are strengthening work coordination and information sharing, forming a work pattern of coordinated promotion, division of labor and responsibility, and linkage between upper and lower levels, and accelerating the establishment of a long-term mechanism to solve the problem of the "digital divide" faced by the elderly. At the same time, we will continuously improve regulations and norms, effectively safeguard the legitimate rights and interests of the elderly in the process of using intelligent technology, and make promoting the integration of the elderly into a smart society a key focus of national education on population aging, promoting a social trend of respecting and caring for the elderly.

On the evening of June 1st, the US Senate passed a bill on the federal government's debt ceiling and budget, and the flame of the US debt bomb was temporarily extinguished at the last moment. The two parties in the United States have staged an extreme tug of war over the US debt bomb. Some experts believe that the US debt crisis is the result of the reckless politics promoted by the US dollar hegemony, and the underlying cause of this crisis is the highly polarized political system of the US. Since the end of World War II, the US Congress has adjusted the debt ceiling more than a hundred times. The recurring debt crisis will not only have a catastrophic impact on the US economy and people's livelihoods, but also continuously erode the value of US dollar assets such as government credit and US bonds, bringing significant and far-reaching impacts to the global economic landscape. 【
