"Nowadays is the internet age. Are there any elderly people in the community who don't know how to use mobile phones or computers? I can go to their homes and teach them."
Ji Nianqin glanced out the window and saw a young man wearing an armband holding a loud speaker downstairs, while many elderly men and women came downstairs and surrounded the young man.
"I'm a volunteer, spreading some internet knowledge to everyone. If you've missed a lot of news, or if you don't have a TV at home, you can watch it on your phone. But the prerequisite is that you have to have Wi-Fi installed at home. Otherwise, unless you're wealthy, the data charges are very high."
"I have a monthly subscription, which gives me several GB, which is more than enough for me."
"So that's how it is."
Ji Nianqin nodded repeatedly, as if she had discovered something new.
"Oh, the internet knowledge I've popularized rarely involves young people. Don't you know how to chat on social media or post to Moments?"
"I can, and my mom can too, but that's a cell phone, and I don't know how to use a computer."
Ji Nianqin swallowed, like a little chick eager to have fresh knowledge injected into its brain.
"Computers are actually similar to mobile phones, but they're a bit larger. Nowadays, as long as you know how to use a mobile phone, you can understand a lot of things. For example, you can check national events in real time. Changes in laws will also be published as headlines at the top of the news, making it easier for the general public to watch."
"So that's how it is. Does that mean I don't need to buy a computer since I have a cell phone?"
"That depends on what kind of work you do."
"I run a period costume selfie studio. Can I use my phone to edit photos?"
"You mean Photoshop? That's better to enlarge it on the computer to give people a more intuitive impression. How about this, our community has prepared different interest classes for the elderly, you can also come and participate."
"But those are all grandpas and grandmas. It's not appropriate for me to go. I can't dress up as my mom."
When Ji Nianqin said this, an idea suddenly occurred to her. Dressing up was her forte.
"Okay, okay, that's settled then. When will the event be held?"
"It's available tonight."
"Okay, okay, see you then."
Ji Nianqin immediately became friends with the elderly people, but it always felt strange for her, so young, to attend classes there. After all, all schools now have computer classes, and with better family conditions, almost everyone has a laptop at home. Students can even use it to guide their studies. After all, there are lessons taught by foreign teachers, as well as famous teachers from various schools. The on-site teaching is rich and varied, which can better cultivate students' desire to acquire knowledge.
But it is also a double-edged sword. Almost all schools require students not to bring mobile phones to class, and children's positioning watches are barely allowed. This is precisely because students do not study well and concentrate on reading romance novels in class, which affects their homework.
The theft of information from young people by some illegal websites on the Internet has been repeatedly cracked down by the state.
Perhaps, one day, students can actually use their mobile phones to listen to lectures given by famous teachers. With their self-awareness improved, schools will have to worry less.
Thinking of this, Ji Nianqin slowly understood the teachers' good intentions.
She packed her notebook and put it in her old schoolbag. Then, it was time for the main event...
