Parents or the elderly do not deliberately choose to watch television and listen to the radio when they want to know the latest news. But they really don't understand how to use any gadgets and their eyes also don't allow them to see the gadget screen even with the help of multipurpose glasses. So this is not because of a reason for choosing not to use gadgets, but rather because of the knowledge in using the gadgets themselves that they never had before. So their choice is only on television or radio, which looks more relaxed in the eyes of today's young people.
And if we look in more detail at the choices, actually today's elderly still really want to be young again and experience the current conditions of life with various kinds of technology that can be put to good use to achieve various things. However, because this is no longer possible for them to repeat, of course they themselves have to choose something more logical with a relaxed choice that can provide a little information for themselves at this time. Because they themselves also know that their time to work like young people is now over.
I think most elderly people like using technologies that were available in their times as they understand them better and are barely interested in new technologies maybe because they don't understand them or know their usage but also because they prefer old ones. When we talk about watching the news or some show, even though they are all available online these days, they would prefer watching them on TV, and if you have a smart TV that is connected to the internet, they would still ask you to put a specific TV show or news channel on it and wouldn't want to watch on mobile or any other gadget.
Among younger generations, prefer gadgets more because they provide more convenience. You can't have a TV everywhere while you can carry a gadget anywhere you go providing you the opportunity to be able to watch anything anywhere you are.
