The Aging Factor: Aging and Technology with Jasmine Orange

By 2030, 55% of the population will be over the age of 55. Getting older is something to be celebrated. Yet, in the technological space, aging is seen as a disadvantage. Many older people are left with little assistance to use technology fully (or in some cases, at all). In this talk, we will go over the changes that can occur as we age. Jasmine will discuss the changes in the brain and the body as we get older and the wonderful ways that our bodies face new challenges as the years go by. She will also share some tips to ensure that our designs and future technologies are inclusive and assist us in the different stages of our lives.
