Smartphones a boon to the elderly

One can never underestimate the importance of cell phones in people's lives today. Many people are so reliant on their cell phones that the devices have become inseparable part of their everyday lives.

It's fair to say that cell phones are now squeezing the time from people's non-cell phone activities. With today's hectic lifestyles cell phones, especially smartphones, are serving as people's integrated communication platform.

The use of cell phones among Chinese citizens is occurring at an increasing pace. And the popularity of smartphones, facilitated by the third-party development of various applications, has greatly increased. With the improvement of the general living standards of people, the availability of more and more easy-to-use apps, whether they are functionally useful or just recreational in nature, has attracted an increasing number of those who were traditionally non-users or light users of cell phones. For example kids and the elderly are increasingly becoming the heaviest users of smartphones, particularly when it comes to playing games.
