Old people get sad by what modern tech has to offer them. My elderly non-technical mother is forced into "digital transformation", this mindless 'tech-is-good' hype that is marketed as making our lives better, but which is really mostly about disruption and cost savings and not serving the actual needs people have. To my mother each website that she is forced to use to do her administrative tasks, is a completely different app with its different look & feel and terminologies used. And all of it is not increasing her quality of life.
- prox 2y agoI am still alone in my digital crusade for better UI and UX. I have been thinking started doing courses on it, because so many times I just proverbially weep a little when I see rookie mistakes in big apps. (Looking at you Apple and Google, big car companies)
