Seniors Hate Dialing, Apparently
My grandmother can’t be bothered with typing in a 9 digit number to call me. In fact she usually asks someone else to dial the number if it’s not already on speed dial. Unfortunately even speed dial isn’t enough for grammy. She wants it easier. The T-Phone is perfect for her.
So you have a phone with a standard numeric keypad and one large call button underneath. You get a bunch of RFID tagged badges to program someone’s number and even insert their picture. When grammy wants to call someone, all she has to do is place the badge on the call button and press it. The phone reads the RFID information in the badge and dials the number.
It’s just a concept for now so until then, grammy will have to live with T-Mobile’s Fav 5. That’s as easy as it gets.

Nice concept useful for everyone. Tangible systems for controlling digital data make immediate sense. Physicality: the return to physical devices, where we control things by physical body movement, by turning, moving, and manipulating appropriate mechanical devices (Norman)
Interesting - almost as cool as your site - I like the idea of giving away RFIDs’ as business cards - business cards are useless and a pain - they NEED to develop.
Also - why not just have a front to the phone that allows (Connect 4style) the disks to be stored above the keypad (which isn’t going to be used anyway) and simply pressed to dial the individual? …
Just what I need, but can I afford it ?

Thank you for comment
I agree for development of business card.
Frankly speaking, I used to think about possibility of business card.
But as your comment, it is uncomfortable and useless until now.
and..
I can’t understand your second commnet perfectly.
But I want my grandmother feel operating something.
She want to make a call someone.
On the other hand, She want to delete someone’s tag.
So, She must do anything she wants. - so I used dial number keypa dinstead of picture.
