Are We Leaving Seniors Behind in the Digital Age?
I've been watching my 78-year-old neighbor struggle with a smartphone his grandkids bought him, and it makes me wonder: are we leaving older adults behind in our rush to digitize everything? Banking, health records, even grocery shopping now assume you can navigate apps. He's sharp, but the interfaces just aren't designed for aging eyes or patience. Could we actually design tech that works for everyone, or is the digital divide for seniors something we'll just accept as inevitable?
