"To be able to design (communication technology) successfully, a major prerequisite is 'knowing the user.' The database for design-relevant characteristics of aging adults is showing signs of improvement." --From Communication, Technology and AgingI like what I've read so far of this book. There's a preview of it available on Google Books (Communication, Technology, and Aging) that got me started. While I probably won't shell out for the entire text, I like the idea that this research is happening in such a focused way. While there's no doubt that communication, technology, and aging are all subjects of individual research, I'm glad to hear that the junction of the 3 topics is being considered as well.
