Population aging and the ubiquity of technology in everyday life have made designing solutions for older adults a necessity. User-centered and participatory design approaches include elderly users in the software development process to some…

That computers should be easy to learn and use is a rarely-questioned tenet of user interface design. But what do we gain from prioritising usability and learnability, and what do we lose? I explore how simplicity is not an inevitable truth…
