Making Choices

A mobile phone has been designed for use by older people by an Austrian firm. The "Life" phone from Emporia Telecom is aimed at the '40+ generation' but has features designed specifically for those in their 50s and 60s and 70s who find modern day mobiles too complicated, too small and too difficult to use. It has many functions that elderly people may find useful;
· Large keys
· Large display
· Easy menu navigation
· Hearing aid suitability
· Emergency call key function
This phone assumes that many elderly people have hearing and eyesight problems and find technology hard to use. It has kept the complexity of calling and texting to a minimum as they understand that many old people tend not to buy a mobile as they find it complicated to use.
