Recently, people are living and sharing with a society of information. Most of young people are interested in an online service and waiting for new services. However, on most old generation, this social trend affect negatively, which abosolutely becomes estrange form original purpose: helping the old.
Admittedly, young adults, who are flexible to adapt new trends, enjoy comfortable on-line services. They manage their bank accounts and send the messages via internet. To them, it seems that there is no negative influence coming from this high technology.
However, numerous elders have had difficulties in learning new IT skills. They have to learn “how to control on-line system” as well as key board typing skill. According to BBC, it criticized on that the health on-line service was so difficult to self-control for elderly people except for a family aid. Not only is the health service in which old generation felt distressed, but also in the public service. For example, it is easy to find seniors wait for assistance in a public office despite the fact that most public affairs can be dealt with a computer. Furthermore, the worse situation is that the society has been changing to technology oriented direction. It is not an option to learn about the knowledge of information system, but the mandatory task the society members must learn in order to enjoy convenient life.
In conclusion, although having some advantages for young generation in modern society, Information system is not easy to adapt for the elder. Thus, in my point of view, government and public organizations have to reduce such reversed outcomes through changing the information system more elder friendly.
