There's always ne nnexistent friend in the grup chat，litering in the backgrund，whse cntributin t the chat remains minimal，if nt extinct.That friend is me.
As lng as I can remember having a phne，I've been a terrible replier.The phrase "Srry I missed this" became my g-t line.When a new grup chat is created，the members will always cme t laugh at my inability t respnd t a simple questin within hurs.
But I'm nt terrible at replying t everyne.I pride myself n quick respnses t wrk emails，my manager，and my mm — she even says， "I feel privileged t be n my daughter's quick list." T friends，I say， "Call me instead." They knw if it's urgent，I'll pick up right away.But if I mark a message as "nn-urgent，" it's a different stry.
Grup chats are even harder：cnversatins mve s fast that missing just five minutes means I'm behind n 67 messages abut parties，mvies r dates.Once，I set aside 15 minutes t respnd t friends' texts.But by the time I respnded，they had messaged back.And I filed thse new messages as nn-urgent again.All f this was like message quicksand.
Recently，I asked Billy abut my bad texting.He's that ne friend yu can always rely n t give yu the nn-sugarcated truth： "Yu take 3-5 days t reply if we're lucky." Ouch — but prbably nt wrng.Then he added， "But yu always shw up，never cancel，and drive 40 minutes t see us."
Nw I think abut ur grup rles — the chatty ne，the caller，the nn-respnder.All cntribute and express lve in different ways.
As I write this article，I wnder if my terrible texting culd be a sign f my ld age？Or I'm just bad at replying t messages？There's a lt t think abut — and I can prmise yu this thinking will take my attentin away frm the 219 messages I haven't answered yet.

The eldercare rbt industry is expanding quickly.Prvinces such as Beijing and Jiangsu have released plitical plans encuraging the adptin f intelligent rbts in institutins and husehlds.China has als led the creatin f an internatinal technical standard fr eldercare rbts，setting requirements fr design and safety.Mrever，with ver 310 millin Chinese aged 60 r abve，many senirs need supprt with mbility，daily activities，r emtinal cmpaninship.Rbtics cmpanies reprt increased inquiries as families search fr reliable slutins fr aging relatives.

Experts say eldercare rbts still face multiple bstacles befre they can be deplyed n a large scale.On the cnsumer side，sme senirs remain skeptical.

Peple's nses get clder when they're feeling stressed，accrding t a new study.Researchers frm the University f Sussex，in England，lked at the temperature f peple's faces t see if it changed when they were nervus r under pressure.
Prfessr Gillian Frrester，wh studies brains and behaviur at the University f Sussex，led the study.She recrded 29 peple with a thermal imaging camera（热成像摄像机） t see what happened when they were stressed.First，the vlunteers were expsed t white nise fr five minutes.Then they had t perfrm tw tasks in frnt f a silent grup f strangers.They had t give an unplanned presentatin and they had t d maths in their head and say their answers ut lud.
Frm the results f the study，it was fund that peple's nse temperature drpped by between 3℃ and 6℃ when they were under pressure.This is because the bld in their faces ges t their ears and eyes，which are imprtant senses fr detecting danger.The researchers were able t see the change in bld flw n the thermal imaging camera because places that were warmer had mre bld.Once the stress was ver，the bld in peple's faces returned t where it usually was within a few minutes.Frrester tld the BBC that the length f time it takes smene's nse t recver its temperature culd be a measure f hw well they manage their stress.

"They can't say hw they're feeling and they can be quite gd at masking hw they're feeling，"Marlanne Paisley，wh studies ape well-being at the University f Sussex，tld the BBC.The temperature f an ape's face culd help peple understand hw they are feeling and hw t make them feel better t.
