[new] silver lining (Avg. Score: 3.00 / Raters: 1) (#4)

To my experience, older adults will tend more to viewing the computer as one unit. They prefer hard- and software that seems streamlined (their love of laptops is almost legendary). So i would see one of the tasks of social software as broadly trying to satisfy this need for simpler, unified interfaces - and at the same time trying to ensure that the whole endeavor does not go down the drain of streamlining, and all the horrors that may follow (corporate control, streamlined content etc.). That's hard enough. But i really do think it's necessary - and it should involve the hardware. Have you ever seen a person move a mouse with two hands? I have. g*
