It has been a fact of modern life that the 50+ generation has almost intentionally been passed over in the provision of computer and communications services. Just as many people feel a bit icky when imagining their parents activities between the sheets, younger people do not generally believe that their parents and grandparents need or want modern computing and communications devices. Well, this mobile phone will become, I believe, a very popular item among the silver-haired set. And, as we baby-boomers (hi there!) get older, such devices will be more and more relevant to our lives and help us to continue our engagement with the world.

The beliefs and affectations of youth are passing strange, but not generally fatal.

Any person in the UI industry who doesn't know the over 60 set are one of the most represented groups on the internet is not paying professional attention.

I think that while they (and their bosses and the marketing people) know this, the glitz of youth seems to blind them to the fact when making business decisions.

Never mind the baby-boomers, that all I want in a phone!
