Tech fails to fill silence for the elderly; Report shows how digital age has spawned new challenges
NEW DELHI: Neelam Maini is 70 and did not own a mobile phone till she retired from a govt job in 2015. The smartphone came into her life as a gift from her children, who also became her mentors, introducing her to internet banking and the world of social media and WhatsApp. Ten years on, as vice-president of Sant Nagar Senior Citizens' Welfare Association that has 400 members on a WhatsApp group, Maini has found that even as the mobile phone has opened a world of communication, helping bridge the generational digital divide, it has also created a deeper problem for many urban elderly people. With the younger generation mostly hooked to their devices — laptops and phones— and social media, more and more elderly people are feeling lonely as their children and grandchildren have little time for deeper engagement with them. This clearly comes through in a survey by HelpAge India released on Friday, ahead of World Elder Abuse Awareness Day on June 15. It reveals that a large number of senior citizens already struggling with loneliness and challenges of ageing now also have to contend with problems of the digital age. The survey, which focused on 'intergenerational dynamics and perceptions on ageing', draws on the experiences of 5,798 respondents that included youth and elderly people from 10 cities — Delhi, Mumbai, Kolkata, Chennai, Bengaluru, Hyderabad, Ahmedabad, Kanpur, Nagpur and Madurai. by Taboola by Taboola Sponsored Links Sponsored Links Promoted Links Promoted Links You May Like Giao dịch CFD với công nghệ và tốc độ tốt hơn IC Markets Đăng ký Undo 'Everyone is on the phone these days, even at the dining table, including elders. But parents feel hurt when they cannot have a meaningful conversation with children and grandchildren. At times, their family members have time to chat with them only on phone while on the way to work,' Maini told TOI , sharing this as one of the experiences of seniors, who yearn for face-to-face conversations with their kin. 'Children don't sit and talk anymore. They are always on their phones,' complained a senior citizen from Kolkata. 'They don't always listen, but when do they talk to us, it makes the day go better,' said an elderly person from Kanpur. 'I just stay silent these days. If we speak, they say we're complaining again,' bemoaned a senior from Madurai. The problem is not just inter-generational. 'We used to gossip with friends in the past. Now we scroll silently. Even loneliness has gone digital,' said another senior from Kolkata. The findings gain significance against the backdrop of India's population profile: as of 2025, approximately 12% of the Indian population is aged 60 and above, with the figure projected to rise to 19% by 2050. At the same time, India is home to the world's largest youth population, with over 365 million individuals aged 15–29 years. Follow more information on Air India plane crash in Ahmedabad here .

Ahmedabad Plane Crash Deaths Rise To 274, Include Those On Board And On Ground
New Delhi: At least 274 people were killed in one of India's deadliest plane crashes involving a London-bound Air India flight in Ahmedabad earlier this week, sources said on Saturday. The casualties, the sources added, include the passengers and crew on board AI 171, and local residents on ground. There were 242 people - 230 passengers, two pilots and 10 crew members - onboard the aircraft that crashed into a medical college seconds after taking off for London Gatwick Airport from Ahmedabad on Thursday. Of these, only one - an Indian-origin British national - survived the crash. Former Gujarat Chief Minister Vijay Rupani was among the victims.

Twenty-four MBBS students, who were injured in the incident, are still under treatment. The aircraft's black box has been found and more than 100 workers and 40 engineers are engaged in the efforts to remove the wreckage from the premises, the sources said. On Thursday, AI 171 - belonging to Boeing Dreamliner 787-8 fleet - crashed seconds after taking off from Sardar Vallabhbhai Patel International Airport. Officials said the aircraft lost altitude soon after taking off at around 1.30pm. It crashed into the residential quarters of the medical college before going up in flames, sending plumes of thick black smoke spiralling up in the air. The pilot had issued a 'Mayday' distress call, denoting a full emergency, soon after takeoff, the Air Traffic Control at Ahmedabad said. Aviation experts said that going by the available visuals, lack of thrust in both engines and a bird hit could be among the probable causes. Visuals from the wreckage area showed bodies being pulled out and the injured, many with burns, wheeled into the city civil hospital close by. Many questions surround the circumstances that led to the fatal crash of the Boeing 787-8 Dreamliner, the first of its kind the aircraft debuted in 2011. Some pertain to what happened in the last 30 seconds of the flight, why the plane was not able to pick up thrust, and if any faults arose with the flaps or engine controls. The black box of the plane was recovered from the rooftop of the medical college hostel building on Friday. Details from the black box will also help segregate technical from human fault, apart from giving a clear sequence of events. On Friday, Prime Minister Narendra Modi visited the crash site to review the situation. He also visited the lone survivor and the injured in the hospital.
