A study on the characteristics,resistance factors,and solution pathways of digital back-feeding in rural families:Based on inter-generational interaction practice of families in NY village,Xingan county,Jiangxi province
Starting from the relevant theory of"digital back-feeding",this study takes eight households in NY village,Xingan county,Jiangxi province as the research objects,and uses research methods such as in-depth interviews and participatory observation to describe the current situation of digital back-feeding from sub-generations to parents in the inter-generational interaction field of rural families.Research has found that digital back-feeding in rural households has the following characteristics:obvious back-feeding nodes,shallow and repetitive coexistence;assistance of the younger generation and mutual assistance in the neighborhood;weak initiative in back-feeding in offspring.The social marginalization,technological panic psychology,and inter-generational communication imbalance of the elderly population in rural areas all constitute obstacles to digital back-feeding.Based on field research,it is believed that alleviating the digital divide among rural elderly groups requires the joint efforts of all sectors of society:on the one hand,it is necessary to implement digital feedback in the family field,leverage the support and assistance of children,and help rural elderly groups quickly adapt to the digital society;on the other hand,it is necessary to build a social governance system that is jointly built and shared by multiple entities such as the government,news media,and the public,to protect the digital rights of rural elderly people,help them share the development achievements of the digital age,and truly benefit the whole society with the achievements of the digital and intelligent era.
