A new computer aimed at people aged over 60 who are unfamiliar with PCs and the Internet has been unveiled.

Imagine that you are above 60 and have never operated a computer. Don’t worry; a new computer called ‘SimplicITy’.


From day one, you can start working on your desktop without any hassles or training. You can straightaway start using the Internet, access your email, chat, and share documents using the provided six buttons on the screen. No login screen. No drop down menus. Simple! 

If it works as it states, then definitely it is going to help elderly people who by this age start feeling isolated.  On the other hand, it's not like this hasn't been tried before.  Isn't that right, Microsoft Bob?
