Elderly Questions

Hellos :D Here are some of the question that i have come up with :D

1: Elderly tend to have a lot of difficulties, be it in mobility, or visually, etc, and how are we going to design and engineer products in such a way that they are elderly friendly?
Some of the basic functions of the products are: I think we should make all the text areas in our products should be bigger and more visible, and the chairs that we design should not be too low as it would be difficult for the elderly to get up and down.
2: How is the elderly going to move around conveniently?
We can invent a sort of hovercraft chair in the future so that elderly in wheelchairs can go over obstacles with ease, unlike with the current wheelchair.
3: What inconveniences the elderly?
I have noticed that some of the toilets in certain malls are not elderly friendly at all, which inconveniences the elderly a great deal, and in certain malls, there are no benches around the mall, and if the elderly are tired after shopping, they do not have any place to rest.

The 3rd question seems to be an overarching question, that encompasses the 2nd and 3rd Q. Please see how you can re-phrase your questions again, so as to ensure that you have managed to capture the essence of what is an EQ.

How are the elderly able to learn how to operate the hovercraft chairs? And are there space for more chairs and benches

I agree with Mr Irfan. I think the 3rd question is merely a summary of question 1 and 2. Other than that, the questions are quite good.

The first 2 questions are completely useless if the 3rd one is used cause the third one is too general.

Kenneth, all 3 questions are about the same topic-about the elderly's convenience.
