Design for the Elderly

Gretchen Anderson of frog design has an interesting article on design for the elderly—how it's handled, how it's stuck, what needs to change, how design vs. reality ("Looking at products made for the elderly really says more about what product designers and manufacturers think the elderly are."). Though the article focuses on product design, this is going to be a wider design issue as the aging boomers slowly take over the world. [via Gizmodo]
