The development of new media technology promoted all aspects of Chinese society gradually to integrate into the "network world",which made the daily survival of the network become the necessary skills of modern people.However,there are a group of people on this road deviating away from the direction.According to "The 38th China Internet Development Report",as far February 2016,the scale of Internet users in China has reached 731 million,while the Internet users over 60 year old accounted for only 4.0%.On the other hand,by the end of 2015,China's population over.the age of 60 has exceeded the total population of 16.1%.The age of aging has quietly come to everyone around.What's more,such a large group of old people which the will be more larger in the future become a weak link in the new media society.The encounter between Networking and Aging is becoming a trigger for many contradictions.The old people do not understand the search so that they can't join the online shopping boom.They do not understand how to use Alipay and WeChat so that they had to fight overseas telephone.They can't order takeout online and even see a doctor because it is not difficult to register online.The mobile Internet has constructed a world that is a bit strange to the elderly,and the media-generated generation gap is increasingly becoming the focus of the aging process.Those who have led the younger generation to know the world are now out of society.In recent years,the voice of positive aging to has gradually increased.Since 2016,Chairman Xi has repeatedly proposed to enhance the awareness of positive aging to face the trend of aging.Society began to face the development limitations of traditional concept of the Aged.In the field of new media using,the community began to try to help the elderly join the new media practice through different channels,including government training for the public,the entering of commercial capital,the community small groups to support,family support and so on.A new question is that how the new media learning and practice of the elderly has changed their daily lives.Does this change,in turn,drive the development of positive aging?As a measure which is flexible and autonomous new media classroom is becoming a typical way to help the old.Here,the old students form a group based on new media practice which extend outward to their daily lives.Therefore,based on the new media study and practice of the old people as the starting point,I studied five new media classes of Hefei City Library and the old people university in Hefei to try to describe the way of getting into the network of an old man group on the edge of the Internet and to show their daily life based on the new media practice.And then,I will think about the interaction between aging and network.Finally,this paper will talk about the interactions of the aging and the Internet.The first chapter is about media life pressure and the attempt of the new media.This part attempts to analyze the "media generation gap" pressure and the status of the elderly which is based on social reports and the real cases.At the same time,this part will pay attention to the concern on the new media try of the social parties to analyze the role of these concerns in the interaction between the elderly and new media.The first chapter is about the curing cognition and social display of the elderly.This part attempts to talk about the influence on the self-level through the change of individual cognition of the old people.Firstly,it will analyze the self-positioning of the elderly as well as the impact of using new media based on the traditional view of the old concept.Then it will analyze the self-level changes in daily life,including the self-display on the network platform?circle of friends and other sites.The third chapter is about the communication of the old.This study attempts to examine the changes of the family personal life after involved by the new media through participatory observation.In the family life level,I will study the influences caused by new media of family relationship,behavior and atmosphere through the channel online and offline.In the field of interpersonal communication,I will study the relationship changes of the old based on classroom learning groups and interest groups in daily life.Finally,I will study the overall changes brought by the new media of the interpersonal exchanges among the old to analyze its role in the active aging process.The forth chapter is about re-participation and recognition.This part mainly investigates the phenomenon that the old people are re-empowered and participate in more social life because of the interaction with the new media.Simultaneously,this part will analyze the change of the concept of aging as well as the positive trends,based on the interaction of the old and the new media.
