When designing new interfaces the designer should always design for as many people as possible, if the design is intuitive a wider target group is reached. One other important thing to remember when designing interfaces is to be rigorous when programming and using the labels to make it possible to use VoiceOver and other applications that reads the label to the user. And always have in mind to design so that the design will be available for people with impairments.
The designing of interaction should be non excluding and intuitive. I think that design that are intuitive and non excluding will be a successful way of designing.
An interesting thought that strikes me when thinking about designing for the future, what attitude would the generation of the 80’s and 90’s have towards technology when they get old. Will they be playing video games in the home for the elderly, and still use the technology that they use today?
The technological developments last decade have been enormous. The people that are elderly now have been trough a remarkable technological revolution.
So when we are designing for the future we should design for our future self.
