Opening the Doors to Technology for Older Donors

However, recent developments are simplifying things. I admit that I didn’t get it at first, but the iPad might just be the device that opens up accessibility to the net for anyone. The hardware and the operating system are so unobtrusive they’re almost invisible. You use the Web instead of operating a computer — there’s no mouse to get used to, the touch keyboard is reasonably usable, you can adjust font sizes and it’s surprisingly easy to read without eyestrain. Better still, software developers have realized that you can’t and shouldn’t attempt to pack all the features and settings into an app that you can on a PC. That makes the apps easier to use and more affordable. Facebook on the iPhone or iPad is much easier to understand than the full website.
