In Reply to: For an elderly person, is the tablet a good move from a desktop/laptop? by Lee Koo (ADMIN)
While portability is great there are many problems with tablets, usually reduced eyesight(certainly for me and I'm not quite retired) is an issue, and nothing is better than a big screen to help one see what's on it. It's for that reason that I don't like laptops either. Also, for some elderly people, holding a tablet with one hand and navigating around the screen with a finger with the other hand is hard to do when they are weaker and unsteady. Then you have a virtual keyboard to type on too! I just can't see most elderly people being happy with a tablet.
