I do not agree with the tablet thing. Too many things can go wrong, and tablets are touch only, no tactile feedback.

But your last idea was actually an excellent suggestion :) An ideal hacker project!

I’ve seen an 80 year old with partial dementia learn how to use an iPad from cold start in about 15 minutes.

It’s exhausting getting accessibility points communicated when there’s always a reply which is just an exception that proves the rule.

“Oh iPad too complicated you say? Well one time I saw an example where that wasn’t the case.”

older non-pc literal people seem to take to tablets very naturally though. at least from what I've seen

Indeed, my 80+ year grandmother uses a tablet everyday
