I’m sure you guys have heard about the cell phone designed just for seniors. I think it’s called the jitterbug and it employs large buttons and large text on the screen. The phone doesn’t have many functions, though. While this phone is a good example of design for seniors, I don’t necessarily believe that removing functions or “dumbing down” the device should be a de facto standard for designing for seniors. I would think that designing for simplicity is not only good for seniors, but for all users.

Geni is quite intriguing. I’d definitely check it out. If I can suggest something, as I’m assuming you live far from your grandmother, if (maybe) you don’t already know, check out Crossloop for remote desktop sharing as its really easy to use. There might be times when your grandma needs some PC help from you.
