Highlights
In today’s world, the market is pullulating with powerful communication units embedded with highly-advanced technologies
The results indicated that elderly found it difficult to use the touch screen phones/smartphones and nearly 60% of elderly belonged to age group 40-50 years and 40% belonged to 51-60%
This leads us towards concluding that age interface for the elders should contain minimalist functionality and the icons and text should be bold as the growing age may be accompanied with low vision
