In this life, each stage has things to do and distances that can be calculated.
The purpose of this stage of learning is "still able to do things"
It's not "can't learn anymore," it's "I still want to be useful and connected to this world."
Verification Signals (count as valid if two or more are met):
· Don't use smart devices at all
· No learning activities at all
· Detached from society
Learning
This stage of learning has three things:
① Tools——phone, video calls, search. They connect you to the world
② Health Knowledge——know what's happening to your body
③ Transmission——talk about and write down your experiences in life
The third one is most overlooked, but also the most valuable.What you know, if not said, will really disappear.
Still able to learn
Keep up with
A little useful
What to look at
New tool use · Weekly learning time · Social participation
How to judge
Can you do something with your phone; how many hours a week do you learn
Health status
Use ≥1 new tool · ≥3 hours/week · Have social interaction every week
Think "old people can't learn" —— most are not taught
Scared of breaking the phone —— it can't be broken
Think "learning is useless" —— useful is the feeling of "still able to do things"
Only passively accept care —— being needed is more important than being taken care of
Leave no records at all —— experience will disappear with the person
First learn: video calls, photography, search these three things
Let family members teach one feature a week, it's not embarrassing
Tell a grandchild about something you know and record it
Learn some health knowledge (understand physical examination reports)
Remember: still able to learn, still able to teach, is the best way to retire
