    My dad is in his mid 80's and does not understand today's technology.

    He has difficulty figuring out the arrow-over-to-here, click-center-button, ignore-the stuff-on-the-side, etc.

    And opening this 'app', then navigating around in there to select what he wants.

    It would be great if there could be a more "streamlined' user interface for the elderly, where you could customize the screen to only show certain items, and be able to "program" an icon to enter a specific app, and navigate automatically to a certain function.

    And be able to "scroll" through those specific functions with an 'up/down' button (like the old TV channel changer).

     

    I hope this helps make more sense of the issue.

     

    Thanks for your time!
