摘　　要：文章以数字鸿沟理论的三个层次为分析框架,理解老年人对于数字设备接入、使用和效果的感知。通过家庭访谈研究发现,在智能手机接入方面,社会中弥散的边缘气氛预设了老年人对新技术较低的需求;在智能手机使用中,年轻人基于代际关系将永远在线气氛传递给老年人进而影响其媒介使用;在智能手机使用效果中,老年人的实际媒介使用效果处于流动变化中,与社会责任、性别关系等要素相关。研究认为,社会以一种看似关爱老年人的方式遮蔽了对老年人媒介使用的控制,老年人自身则受困于家庭资源和亲情需求,不断让渡自身权力。老年人需要从数字社会边缘回归社会中心,以真正弥合银色数字鸿沟。This article takes three levels of the digital divide theory as the analytical framework to try to understand the elderly's perception of digital device access,use and effect.Through family interviews,it found that in terms of smart phone access,the diffuse"marginal atmosphere"in the society presupposes the lower demand of the elderly for new technologies.When using their smart phones,young people transferred the"always online atmosphere"to the elderly based on inter-generational relations,thus affecting their media use.And the actual media use effect of the elderly is dynamic and changing constantly,which is related to social responsibility,gender relations and other factors.The research believes that the society has hidden the control of the use of media for the elderly in a seemingly caring way,which means the elderly themselves are trapped in the needs of family resources and family affection,and constantly transfer their power.The society needs to put the elderly back to the social center from the edge of the digital society,so that the silver digital divide can be truly bridged.
