Lots of older people use the Internet and its services: they communicate with their friends and family by e-mail and instant messaging, manage their bank accounts, book travel, compare prices and sometimes even shop online. Around 2020, there will be more 60 year-olds than there are 20 year-olds. Senior citizens will be a preferred target for online services. European Legislation and Web Standardization Committees are already addressing this question. This video aims to educate the designers of tomorrow about the difficulties faced by seniors. Through testimonials, they will learn about the various aspects they must take into consideration to facilitate the use of their interfaces by older people.
