However, if someone would make the ultimate anti-Yuppie device, an ultra-simple cellphone for seniors, they would sell a gazillion of them.
For there are huge numbers of people who neither want nor need confusing gizmos, instead who want simplicity adapted for the poor visioned and hard of hearing. They don't even need an LCD screen. They want a phone like what phones used to be.
Larger than a normal cellphone for arthritic hands, with a loud ring. Big, easy to read buttons, 15 of them, and three switches. 12 dialing buttons, a redial, hold, and HELP button with a safety switch, so it isn't pushed by accident. An on-off switch, and a ring-mute switch. The last thing it has is a power strip from green and yellow to red, so they can easily tell when it needs charging.
Have a charging stand so they don't have to futz with wires.
And on the inside of the cellphone, have a piece of paper with important phone numbers written in it.
That does exist. I heard a blurb about it last week. Check Clark Howard's website. I think it is marketed in Canada at the moment.
I'll second that.
So you're saying I could make serious dime if I invented the first rotary cellphone?
