      The biggest market opportunity that hardly anybody is pursuing is information technology geared to the needs of old people. It's not glamorous, but most of the phone/laptop/web/social media market ignores how older users - people not ready for Jitterbug phones - want to use tech.

      Not a growth industry. And older people don't want to pay.

      Older people are a growing population, they have money, and they will pay it to get rid of hassles.

      But the current 65- to 74-year-olds are mostly up on technology. It is only 75+ consumers who have huge problems with it, and on top of that the higher income you have, the less tech problems you have. I think the lack of companies reflects reality and growth prospects.

      Wait until the 70 year olds are 80 year olds and all the stuff they know today is obsolete.

          There is a small market, one that is mined by Jitterbug and the like. But improvements in voice technology are going to make inroads on that, too. Again, there is a market, it just isn't a growth market IMHO.

          I hang out with mostly people in the 65-90 age range. While they are high-functioning (bridge players) they are not unrepresentative of the higher income range of that demographic. Almost all are facile with smart phones. Most problems are health problems.
