This season, watching family members struggle with new devices, it struck me that even if empowered tech enhancers don't have poor vision (or other suboptimal abilities), they should at least identify with the struggles of their parents and people they know, and this will increasingly be reflected as cohorts grows older. My dad has always been involved in technology and he eagerly explores new features, but he's very often tripped up by poor usability choices. But in general with open competition things have been getting startlingly better each month.
Worth mentioning Lasik doesn't help here, it only helps with far vision, it can actually make near vision worse because it can cause other visual aberrations.
- edent 12y agoAh, didn't know that about Lasik. Will look at amending the post, thanks :-)
