The girl was curious and asked: " since you are this old, do you still use a smartphone?" He winked, laughing humorously: "Oh, you are "sure"? A few friends at the pension club said that there was no "fishing" and they did not know that online was "medicine", so he asked his nephew to show him, then went online to learn how to install an app, register for a Facebook account to get to know the situation.
Seeing the young girl with wide eyes, he was excited to say that he once considered "social networks to be all about bull runny" and now "admin" the group "Happy Old Life", every morning he posted coffee photos with energetic captions, one day quoting the saying of Zen master Thich Nhat Hanh "Thank you for waking up every morning/ You gave us a new day to love".
And he officially enters the digital world every day. In the morning, I browse the internet, post a link and then call an namepoint video with a group of old friends, watch YouTube at noon and listen to Trinhs music on Spotify (online music service) at night.
The neighbor recounted that one day, he stood in the middle of the apartment building and shouted loudly: "Can you show me how to livestream with background music? I want to sing to everyone the song "Old Diem!". The girl listened more and more surprised and sighed: " doesn't compensate for grandparents and grandchildren, until I'm not yet seventy, I don't know what the internet is like, just sit all day "meditating" on TV, and say: Phone is just for phone calls and text messages, it's a job of children".
Suddenly, the old man's phone rang loudly, he held it up and asked for the other account number to transfer money online to celebrate his friend's son's wedding in the remote South. Put down the phone, he innocently showed the girl: "You know how to book medical examination and treatment services online and have just learned how to use an app to take photos of a child when he is a few decades old".
He laughed while the girl looked at him, suddenly thinking secretly: I don't know if when I'm his age, I dare to change, to enjoy such an interesting life? In this rapidly rotating world, smart people are not young people or old people but people who constantly learn, even when their hair is gray and the avatar has just been updated with the sunset light filter.
