Imagine you are 75 years old. Your body and perception have shifted, and you’re likely to experience products and services differently. Most digital devices — largely designed by and for younger people — aren’t optimized for your needs.
Who does this affect, really? The truth is that, in later life, it’s something that will affect us all.
Adoption of digital technologies is still on the rise among older users, so increasingly designers will need to consider the kind of age-related use limitations a 75-year-old may encounter. And, as I’ll go on to explain, we all benefit from the implementation of inclusive design. So how can we avoid ageism and design without bias?
