Senior PCs on their Way?
Posted on Apr 30, 08 10:53 AM PDT
Interestingly enough, cell phones for the older generation are readily available but when it comes to user-friendly PCs for senior citizens? Well, the answer is virtually zero. Zilch. Nada. Microsoft UK aims to change that though, drawing up a plan to develop a "senior PC" which will boast a simple user interface as well as specially tweaked to handle more complex tasks (relatively speaking, of course) such as managing prescriptions and photos. Charities Age Concern and Help the Aged will be working with Microsoft UK on this "ad-funded PC" that would come preloaded with a step-by-step guide to get online, remain safe and perform "simple computer tasks". You can be sure there won't be fast paced games in there - perhaps a digital version of Sudoku and crosswords?
