With the continuous advancement of the digital society, the reading behavior and habits of the elderly are also undergoing profound changes, and digital reading is being accepted by more and more elderly people. The "2023 China Digital Reading Report" released by the China Audio Video and Digital Publishing Association shows that there are 24 million digital reading users aged 60 and above in China. However, the rapid development of digital technology has also exposed problems such as uneven development and insufficient services, which are reflected in digital reading. For example, the reading channel is single. Elderly people in China mainly read through smartphones. Due to the lack of proficient online search skills and strategies, they often enter through sharing with acquaintances or clicking on advertisements. For example, there is a shortage of high-quality content supply. Compared to children's reading resources, high-quality content specifically created for the elderly is clearly lacking and of varying quality. For example, elderly people have weak digital literacy, fear of operating smartphones, and have more perceptual barriers, which can easily expose them to risks such as advertising induced payment and telecommunications fraud. Improving the digital literacy of the elderly has become an important issue in an aging society, and it is also an important path to promote high-quality digital reading among the elderly. Digital literacy, media literacy, network literacy, information literacy, and other literacy concepts form a group of literacy concepts that intersect in various ways at different levels. Digital literacy is not a single literacy or skill, but a fundamental life skill that concerns everyone, a composite and cross cutting important skill. This skill can enable individuals to acquire other important skills (such as language, mathematics, learning to learn, cultural awareness, etc.), and even be labeled as a "survival skill of the digital age". The meaning of digital literacy continues to evolve with the development of society, and most later definitions have constructed digital literacy as a certain ability. International organizations have begun to propose a capability framework for constructing digital literacy. In October 2021, the Central Cybersecurity and Information Technology Commission issued the "Action Plan for Enhancing the Digital Literacy and Skills of the Whole People", which first proposed the concept of "digital literacy and skills", believing that "digital literacy and skills are a collection of digital acquisition, production, use, evaluation, interaction, sharing, innovation, security protection, ethics and morality that citizens in the digital society should possess in their learning, work, and life." It also proposed to focus on improving the digital literacy and skills of the elderly, which requires government leadership and the formation of a collaborative system among stakeholders. Improving the digital literacy of the elderly cannot be achieved without vigorously advocating and establishing a lifelong education system. By encouraging grassroots communities to carry out digital elderly assistance activities, senior universities, social institutions and organizations to provide training courses or activities, etc., we can strengthen the collaborative promotion among different stakeholders. It cannot be ignored that digital elderly assistance measures should be extended to grassroots communities, focusing on the activity radius of elderly life, in order to improve efficiency. If we increase community digital assistance activities, we can create an environment where the elderly actively integrate into digitalization. Mobilize family strength, encourage young people to carry out cultural feedback, and help the elderly to improve their Internet application skills and information evaluation ability. Older people are passionate learners with strong emotional and communication needs. The patience, persistence, and encouragement of mentors or peers can enhance their self-efficacy. Fully leverage corporate social responsibility. Pay attention to the practical needs of the elderly for digital technology, design age appropriate digital applications based on their physiological conditions and psychological characteristics, develop digital reading products suitable for the elderly, effectively solve the pain points and anxieties of the elderly in the process of digital transformation, and boost their digital security and confidence. Under the strong promotion of the country, the vast majority of entertainment apps have already adopted a teenage mode, which can not only greatly alleviate the impact of harmful information on teenagers, but also reduce the incidence of teenage internet addiction. However, the "elderly friendly model" is still a blank and needs to be developed. Digital enterprises should take the initiative to improve the usability of interactive interfaces and the provision of digital content, continuously optimizing the digital reading experience for the elderly. Intensify publicity efforts, especially in areas such as network information security, network literacy skills, and promotion of high-quality content. Many elderly people are still unfamiliar with and unsure how to use the digital resources of libraries at all levels, which requires the media to constantly speak out and help them raise awareness. All levels of integrated media centers should also actively create a comprehensive platform for news and services, increase the frequency of use by the elderly in their daily lives, and provide them with stable channels to access high-quality content. In short, all sectors of society should attach great importance to the intersection of the elderly society and the digital society, continuously improve the digital literacy of the elderly, and promote digital equity. Promoting high-quality digital reading for the elderly should be an important component of the implementation of the national reading culture strategy and an essential link in building an elderly friendly society.
