You’re not giving seniors enough credit. Look if my 90 year old father managed with a stroke, tapping away with one finger on the pop up keyboard then I think most seniors can get by just fine. Most tablets are available with add on keyboards. Modern tablets and phones have voice and facial recognition. Hey Siri…. Hey Google…open my savings account.

We're rapidly reaching an inflection point when it comes to seniors and tech. Trying to enable my then 86 year old grandmother who never had a computer, a cell phone, or even a cordless- was... not successful. Even with a user interface designed specifically for seniors (large buttons, very flat operating system pathways with direct return to home at all times) it was unrecognizable to anything she'd ever handled before. Any form of modern compatibility required learning something new.

The next class up in their 60's and 70's now? Have had computers and emails for decades, facebook and smart phones for almost as long. That doesn't make them tech savants by any means, but keeping them online well into retirement won't require learning something new as long as there remains some backwards compatibility to the OS', UI's, and hardware they're comfortable with, and fonts/ buttons can be made larger.
