Care professionals say seniors should be provided with classes to ensure they don't get left behind in the internet age. Zhou Wenting reports from Shanghai.

Unlike her grandchildren, who use their mobile phones for everything from ordering food deliveries to booking travel products to reading, Shao Qinglan, 76, only uses her seven-year-old handset for one thing: making calls.

Every time the two generations are together, Shao feels they are living in completely different times and spaces. "They (her grandchildren) rely heavily on smartphones and the internet, which are part of a new age I don't understand," she said.
