Are Your Arms Getting Shorter?

Are your Arms Getting Shorter? 

The Uniden EZ Phone 

As a card-carrying member (AARP) of the baby boomer generation I am surprised by new challenges every day.  One of my favorites is the ongoing battle between the length of my arms and the size of the print on everything I read from newspapers to phone screens. 

Let’s talk about the telephone, who among us could function without it?  Every household has several. Some are wired, more and more are wireless.   Sometimes using the phone is the bane of my existence.  Tiny buttons, tiny numbers and tiny screens with even tinier writing do nothing for a member of the bifocal generation.

Uniden®, one of today’s leading electronics manufacturers heard my anguish and designed the CEZAI998.  Its features are designed specifically for those whose eyes and ears are not what they used to be.

From Where I Sit

A New Column On Assistive & 'Boomer' Friendly Technology 

When I was 30 years old the warranty on my body ran out. Systems started failing and tech support wasn't a whole lot of help. Re-booting wasn't an option and calls to the manufacturer.... Well let's just say the ‘answers' are still a point of discussion. It's not like it was the ‘blue screen of death' or anything, but it is chronic (Multiple Sclerosis). It has caused me to have a different perspective on most things because where I sit is in a wheelchair.
