Some quotes I found interesting regarding the usage of tech by elderly people:
> I explained my app. "Since senior citizens are not good at swiping," I said, "I made it possible for them to play by tapping."
> I think AI speakers are helpful to the elderly. Once the initial setup is complete, we can use them even if we become bedridden.
> What we need are features that support people from the AI side. One example would be a function that informs users that evacuation instructions have been issued due to heavy rain. Or when you feel a pain in your chest, a function that dials 119 (Japan's emergency number) would be helpful.
- The_suffocated 7y ago> I explained my app. "Since senior citizens are not good at swiping," I said, "I made it possible for them to play by tapping." I have a similar experience. A few years ago I implemented a traditional Chinese dominoes game on Android for my grandma. (To date she still plays the game every night for two hours.) When I let her tested the game, the first thing I observed was that she was poor at dragging the dominoes to the table. So, I quickly changed dragging to tapping. (Tap a dominoe once to choose it and tap the table once to play it. To cancel a wrong choice, tap the chosen dominoe again.)
