# Senior Citizen Tablets The IC Social Communication Tool is Designed for Grandmas By Robyn Currie | Published 2010-06-26 | Life-Stages Source: Trend Hunter, https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/ic-social-comminucation-tool References: [yankodesign](http://www.yankodesign.com/2010/06/25/making-it-easy-to-communicate-with-grandma/) & [mikaeljohansen](http://www.mikaeljohansen.com/) The IC Social Communication Tool by Mikael Johansen is a new design that is geared towards senior citizens. Meant to be an easy but tech-savvy communication device, this tablet would let isolated seniors feel more connected. The IC Social Communication Tool will automatically set up e-mail accounts and can be programmed to be voice activated. It's designed to remain stable even while shaky hands have a go at the touch screen. Contacts are automatically gathered from e-mail and networking sites, so Grandma will never call you the wrong name again. ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 3.8/10 - Popularity: 19% | Activity: 88% | Freshness: 8% - Audience gender: 70% men, 30% women - Primary generations: Gen X - Top markets: North America, Europe, Asia ## Categories [Trend Hunter](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends) > [Life-Stages](https://www.trendhunter.com/life-stages) > [Boomers](https://www.trendhunter.com/boomers) ## Key Themes ### What Makes This Trend Stand Out - **Senior Citizen Tablets:** Opportunity for creating user-friendly and specially designed tablets for senior citizens, addressing their unique needs. - **Tech-savvy Communication Devices:** The development of communication devices specifically designed for seniors, incorporating features such as automatic e-mail setup and voice activation. - **Enhancing Social Connectivity:** Innovations in technology that enable isolated seniors to feel more connected by facilitating easy communication with friends and family. ### Sectors Adopting This - **Technology:** Opportunity for tech companies to create specialized tablets and communication devices for senior citizens. - **Healthcare:** Integration of senior citizen tablets in healthcare settings for improved patient communication and engagement. - **Social Networking:** Development of social networking platforms specifically tailored for seniors to enhance their social connectivity and reduce isolation. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [Senior-Targeted Digital Journals](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/journal-concept.md) - [Elder-Focused Virtual Companions](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/grandpad-grandie.md) - [AI-Powered Companion Speakers](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/puppimily-touchscreen-speaker.md) - [Wellness-Focused TV Setups](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/jubileetv.md) - [Anti-Senior Loneliness Campaigns](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/elliq.md) - [Simple Senior-Friendly Televisions](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/lg-easy-tv.md) - [Nonprofit-Backed Senior Social Apps](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/senior-planet-community.md) - [WFH Communication Systems](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/smart-communication-device.md) - [Tablet-Based Video Magnifying Tools](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/video-magnifier.md)
