iPhone Cool For Elderly People As Well

One thing that I've noticed over the past couple of months is that the iPhone is not just for us younger generation. Lots of older people have iPhones too.

I've met a guy who is over 50 who has an iPhone and I asked him a few things about it. He said he loves his iPhone and that it is the best phone he has ever had. He also said that his son who is only 10 taught him how to use everything on it. He also said that he had bought a lot of Apple products like a mac and Apple TV and his son set it all up too. He said that he loves the technology of the iPhone and is glad he got it. His son unlocked it for him.

About two ago I saw a lady in her 40's who had an iPhone. I also asked her about it. She too said it was the best phone she's ever had, maybe even the best thing she's ever owned. A couple weeks ago I also saw an older man taking photos with his iPhone. Today even, I heard the signature Apple iPhone ringtone, I knew it was an iPhone, but guess who answered, a man who is at least 50, maybe even 60.

This just goes to show that anyone can get excited about the iPhone and cool gadgets in particular.

The iPhone really bridges the generation gap. Once the iPhone is available in Canada, I'm sure I will see ever more older folks using an iPhone. I bet not all older people know the ins and outs of unlocking and hacking some of the younger tech savvy generation. Do you know anyone over the age of 40 with an iPhone? Do your parents have one? Let me know!

Wow, are we suddenly living in the 1700's? Since when is a person 60 years old considered 'elderly'. Much less someone 50 or in their 40's. I'm 39, I guess my days are numbered lol.

Old?

I am a 66 year old attorney, and last week, when an issue came up, during a break, I used my iPhone to dialup the Georgia Bar web site, which has free statute and case law online, searched out a citation, pulled up the statute and a defining case, and when court resumed...I asked permission to approach the bench and showed the Judge (and other lawyer) on a real web browser on my iPhone the pertinent statute with annotations, history and legislative notes. The Judge accepted the law as presented and I won a dismissal, much to the joy of my client (we were waiting to pick a jury and begin an expensive trial) and to the chagrin of opposing council and his dumbfounded client.

It wasn't the first time my iPhone has paid for itself during a single day's use. It's just a better tool.
