SENIORS IN CYBERSPACE
Grandmothers knitting jumpers and grandfathers sorting stamps in albums are a sight that we will soon be able to forget. Modern seniors are increasingly turning to new technologies, wanting to keep up to date with technical innovations and have access to computers, laptops and the Internet. Seniors want to be able to keep in touch with family and friends without hindrance, store photos and notes, and have access to the latest news from home and abroad. A laptop at grandma's or grandpa's house is also a good excuse to invite their grandchildren over, as they can always ask them for help in using the device. Which devices are best for seniors? In this article, our specialists will answer this question!
A SMARTPHONE FOR GRANDMA AND GRANDFATHER
Once again, it turns out that smartphones are not just for young people. Seniors are also reaching for modern phones and doing quite well. Grandmothers and grandfathers also want to keep up with the younger generation and often choose popular phone brands that run on iOS and Android systems. Today's smartphone market offers products tailored to the needs of a wide range of users, and even lower-end devices provide great comfort of use and have quite good cameras. It is good for a smartphone for seniors to be equipped with a large display, at least 5". With smartphones, we cannot adjust the screen resolution, so the larger the screen, the easier it is to access the phone's functions. In this case, we do not need to pay much attention to Full HD resolution, as the difference in the quality of the displayed graphics is rather small in smartphones. When buying a smartphone for a senior citizen, it is worth focusing on devices with a solid finish. Phones can often be dropped or placed on surfaces that will dirty and scratch the device. In this case, you may want to consider purchasing an additional case and protective glass so that the smartphone will serve the senior citizen for as long as possible. The condition of the battery will also be important. In modern smartphones, replacing the battery is not easy and requires servicing, and it is good if a full charge lasts for at least one day of use. The AT-Outlet store offers smartphones from popular brands such as Apple, Samsung, Xiaomi, Huawei and Motorola. AT-Outlet guarantees their high quality and full functionality, and each device comes with an additional one-year warranty.
DESKTOP COMPUTER AND LAPTOP – KEY FEATURES
We can safely assume that our grandparents are not interested in the latest games. Although there are probably some who do. So we assume that we are looking for an office computer or laptop that allows them to talk to their loved ones and gives them access to news from home and abroad. In the case of a desktop computer, we should focus mainly on choosing a monitor – it should be large and display the image clearly. A laptop will be a bit more problematic. A laptop is mobile, so for our grandmother or grandfather, we should look for a device that is lightweight, sturdy, shock-resistant and has a large screen. In this case, it is best to look for laptops with 15.6‘ or 17’ screens. A laptop with a smaller screen size will be lighter, but it may limit visibility, and the keyboard layout will be more compact, making typing more difficult. The laptop does not need to support Full HD resolution, because with a lower resolution, the elements on the screen will be larger and therefore easier for a senior citizen to see. We can consider a matte or glossy screen and possibly an anti-reflective coating, or even a touch screen. This is important if the senior will be using the laptop in the garden, for example, because each of these screens displays images and colours differently. For both desktop computers and laptops, we should pay attention to the keyboard – the hardness of the keys, their legibility, the spacing between them, an additional numeric keypad and, possibly, a backlight option. The laptop's touchpad will also be important. It must be large and, ideally, respond to actual touch rather than proximity of the fingers, as this will prevent our senior from accidentally performing actions on the computer. Let's also pay attention to the laptop battery. If our grandparents want to use the laptop in different rooms or in the garden, it would be good for the laptop battery to last at least an hour.
