  Life-long learning means a lasting study, that a person does not stop his learning after his graduation, even thong his old. It's now encouraged by Chinese government, so more and more elders choose a life-long learning style as their life style after retirement. But not all the elders can go to University of the Third Age, because of their physical condition or their apartment far away from universities. To such persons, the only way to learn is using DVDs , VCDs or following television classes. Such ways are convenient, but sometimes the elders think that following DVDs or televisions is not so understandable as following teachers. So we can say that in elder-education, now ICT does not play a useful role. Somebody said that the elders could study on the Internet, and ask questions and discuss with others on-line. But I think it's not feasible, because to most Chinese elders, Internet is far away from their daily life, and do some learning on-line is so difficult that they are even afraid of this kind of study. Then, how ICT can do any beneficial things helping those elders to finish their life-long study?
