Also those damnable single button interfaces to earbuds, vapes, etc.
Older people can have trouble double clicking, it's even more difficult for them to "click 5 times rapidly", and to remember exactly where they are in a UI that has almost no outputs.
Hopefully as Gen-X ages, we'll see more thought put into this problem.
Not defending the interfaces here, they do suck, but the elderly definitely aren't the target market for vapes. It's not unsurprising that they're not designed with them in mind.
I know a couple of older people who smoke marijuana for pain/relaxation.
You are correct though, they're not the target market. I would like to see some of the more modern conveniences redesigned though. Perhaps I can win the lottery and start a business for that need. Kind of like the bras and shirts with magnetic clasps for people with limited mobility.
The iPhone has settings for physical button click speed for this reason. It's not just the elderly, but really any sort of motor difficulty. It takes a lot of force!
