# Finger-Friendly Timekeepers The Wall and Bedside Table Touch Clock is Ideal for Tech-Savvy Seniors By Michael Hines | Published 2011-06-29 | Life-Stages Source: Trend Hunter, https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/wall-and-bedside-table-touch-clock References: [yankodesign](http://www.yankodesign.com/2011/06/27/getting-touchy-with-time/) Arash Karimi has designed a [touchscreen clock](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/taoclock) that is, in my opinion, perfect for the baby boomer generation. The Wall and Bedside Table Touch Clock is a clock that can be set and programmed using your finger. The reason why I see this clock as perfect for oldsters is because it mixes cutting-edge tech with a simple design. As the [baby boomers age](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/lg-easy-tv), there will be a need for technology that is easy to use and understand. A touchscreen [bedside clock](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/desk-clock-1) such as this one would be perfect for the senior citizen looking to stay up-to-date with today's tech without losing their mind. However, the Wall and Bedside Table Touch Clock could benefit from more tech-savvy features in the future. ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 1.5/10 - Popularity: 8% | Activity: 30% | Freshness: 8% - Audience gender: 50% men, 50% women - Primary generations: Millennial, 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 ### Why This Trend Is Growing - **Touchscreen Technology for Seniors:** The rise of touchscreen technology specifically designed for seniors represents an opportunity for companies to cater to a growing demographic with unique needs and preferences. - **Simplicity in Design and Functionality:** As baby boomers age, simple and intuitive design will become increasingly important in product development, offering opportunities to companies that can balance cutting-edge technology with ease of use. - **Senior-focused Tech Upgrades:** Designers and developers who focus their efforts on improving the tech-savvy features of products intended for seniors could be well-positioned to capture a growing market in need of user-friendly yet advanced technology. ### Industries Being Reshaped - **Consumer Electronics:** Developing intuitive touchscreen technology features specifically for seniors could represent a significant opportunity for companies in the consumer electronics industry. - **Smart Home Devices:** Expanding touchscreen technology to smart home devices intended for seniors represents a potentially disruptive innovation opportunity for companies in the home automation industry. - **Healthcare Technology:** As healthcare technology continues to evolve, incorporating touchscreens into senior-focused products and services could offer significant benefits to both patients and providers, creating opportunities for companies in the healthcare technology industry. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [Gesture Based Structured Clocks](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/tilt-smart-clock.md) - [Connected Simplicity-Focused Clocks](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/smart-rubiks-cube-clock.md) - [Minimal Assistive Multifunctional Clocks](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/little-house-alarm-clock.md) - [Modernized Vintage-Inspired Alarm Clocks](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/roberts-ortus-5.md) - [Anti-Smartphone Bedside Alarm Clocks](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/mudita-clocks.md) - [Smart TV Clocks](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/clock-o-clock.md) - [Retro Digital Flip Clocks](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/flip-clock1.md) - [Pixelated Flip-Style Wall Clocks](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/miniot-klapklok.md) - [Accessibility-Focused Alarm Clocks](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/routine-alarm-clock.md)
