Thank you for the comments on my design. I do like designing for kids, and I like designing fun things, so many of my designs tend to end up “kiddy”. Part of the assignment was that the computer be innovative and not traditional, so that is why it is a totally different way of operating a computer.

If you would like to see more of my stuff, here’s my porfolio on coroflot…

Actually this seems more complicated than easy to me. Technology is not at a place where I feel it could even benefit the elderly yet. They need a system that can read a thought (like save this email for later) and other basic functions with thinking them. I feel elderly would rather the machine read their thoughts, than having to read a computers’ to figure out how it works. A 50 y/o today will probably be the first successful elderly computer user in 20/30 years, because they know computers enough to make them function as tech gets better. You can’t raise George Washington from the dead and expect him to learn this system “naturally.” The baby boomers will use the comps later on, it’s a generational learning curve.
