Question

How could systems be made more accessible to older users? explain in your words.

Answer 1

Answer:

Explanation:

• Create age-appropriate designs – Products with small screens and tiny buttons are not going to attract many older buyers. They want devices that are simple and uncomplicated. Special equipment and additional accessories are usually unpopular with this demographic.  
• Emphasize the need for technology – Some older adults are of the idea that technology is something for young people and serves no purpose for folks a bit more advanced in age. These individuals will need to be convinced that technology can improve their well being by keeping them connected with friends and preventing social isolation.  
• Improve marketing – Technology advertising seems to be at two extremes. At one end, young consumers are courted with gimmicks that would only make sense to their generation. At the other end of the spectrum are ads for frail and elderly people. Older adults in good health — no matter their actual age — are unlikely to identify with such people.  
• Relieve anxieties – Many older adults are excited about the prospect of using a computer or tablet but at the same time are apprehensive. Fears about breaking a device or using it "wrong" can deter them from becoming more involved in learning about the benefits of technology. It's important for caregivers and family members to be patient and supportive while introducing older adults to technological devices.
