The most intriguing thing I found in the article, is that, If you design & sell items specifically to elderly, they wont buy it. Because they don't want the product to remind that they are old.
So the solution is to design a product which suits to the elderly but seems like its designed for young generation.

Because they don't want the product to remind that they are old In the modern society, that is. In previous eras/societies, it was a badge of honor to be among the elderly, and there were products/lifestyles associated to that that did fine.

- sylk 7y agoWow that explains a good majority of infomercials to me... Thank you.

- maxxxxx 7y agoI don't think that's necessarily true. It's just that items designed for the elderly are designed by young people who think this is what elderly people need. My mom uses quite a few items that are supposed to be designed for the elderly. Only a few really work whereas others simply don't work. I don't think most elderly don't want to be reminded that they are old. They will happily use stuff that actually works for them.
