IPad winning over elderlyMaker sees lucrative potential in largely untapped market




IPad is a good technology for senior citizens because it can help them know about our world news and the information that they never know before. Furthermore, there are a lot of elderly people give a good comment for IPad.

Hikosaburo Yasuda, 95year olds, said "he plans to buy Apple IPad just because the juvenile has it. “It important to try new things if not you will get left behind”, Yasuda said. Moreover, another reason that makes him want to buy IPad is he never had a chance to read. IPad is a good tool for the senior citizens that try to use computer."

Motoo Kitamura, 78, a former salesman, said "the IPad helps him communicate with his 2-year-old grandson, who turns it on himself to play games. Kitamura uses it to follow the Hanshin Tigers baseball team and show vacation pictures.
Now, there are many customers bought 3.72 million IPads that sell for $565 in Japan and this year’s Apple Company approximately earn 12.9 million this year. It is the biggest benefit in this year".

In my opinion, at present there are many senior citizen try to learn new thing from new technology and in the future the percentages of elderly IPad user will increase sharply during 2011-2012 .
