Abstract

In today's era of rapid development of new media, people are using more and more digital and intelligent technology, which brings a lot of convenient conditions to people. However, different groups have different degrees of acceptance of new technology, which leads to the problem of "digital divide" for the elderly. By analyzing the development status of the elderly crossing the "digital divide" from the perspective of new media, this paper further discusses the logical basis of the formation of the "digital divide" for the elderly and the effective path to cross the "digital divide". The relevant research content is expected to provide references for practical work.
