Old folks on the phone

Published 3/22/06

I’m looking at doing a story on cell phone designed for seniors — how maybe a kids phone like the Firefly would also work well for a senior who has trouble using those tiny buttons.

I sent this image to my editor, who took a beat before he realized it was a joke:

Screw the big buttons. How about enlarging the type size so I can read the frigin’ thing without glasses? Oh, how about being able to see the screen in sunlight? I occasionally get calls during daylight hours. Not a joke.
