Although
 advanced technologies
such
 as cellphones and the Internet, it is observed that few the elderly
use
 them. There are several benefits of using cellphones and the Internet and some effective methods should be taken to encourage the old to apply these technologies.

 with, it is undeniable that cellphones and the Internet bring significant advantages for the elderly.

, it is the easiest ways for them to keep in contact with their children or friend by making calls. Smartphones server calls video calls and connects the Internet while the Internet supports several free communicating ways for people to contact directly

use
 these technologies. Owing to their age, it is a bit difficult for them to approach new technologies.

use
, showing the clear benefits of the technologies which will attract them to
use

In addition
, senior citizens usually have weak eyesight, so they should buy cell phones, computers or other devices which have big keyboards and screens to see easily. When understanding and using clearly, I believe that senior citizens may spend much time on them. In conclusion,
although
 approaching new technologies is difficult for the elderly, there are some advantages to using them. It is
