Accessibility for Seniors on the Web
November 19, 2007
One of the reasons accessibility in web design is so important is because a large percentage of seniors are surfing the web. The baby boomers are approaching or are in their sixties and about 75% of them are surfing the web to get information about health issues in particular and they are also shopping big time. How nice is it for them to shop at Christmas for their grandchildren without having to go out and brave the elements? I think it’s absolutely fantastic that the internet has made seniors’ lives so much easier. And the internet has also enabled them to keep their minds active, which, in my opinion, is an important key to longevity. |
