The choice of an appropriate input device for a product is often based on both the type of device being used and the target market for that device. For instance, a device targeted to college students and one targeted to older individuals may use different input methods. Suppose that you are developing a device to be used primarily for Internet access that will be marketed to senior citizens. What type of hardware would you select as the primary input device? Why? What are the advantages and disadvantages of your selected input device? How could the disadvantages be minimized?

Explanation:

Well, one may wonder: what is an input device? In simple words, an input device a computer piece of hardware that sends data into the computer; such as a keyboard, mouse, etc.

The typical hardware I would select as the primary input device for senior citizens is the keyboard. Because it involves less technical requirement to use a keyboard; they simply just plug in the keyboard (in the case of a desktop computer) and can begin to type.

Advantages:

Disadvantages:

How could the disadvantages be minimized? By encouraging typing classes/training for seniors, and switching to voice recognition supported keyboard systems.
