Thanks for your “view” on the topic, Kristen. 😉 Now if those using small font would read our large comments. 🙂

I think that there is a range of tech abilities in any generation, as you mentioned. Not a fan of small fonts either!

Hi Lisa. Sorry, I had to rescue you from the spam folder. You bring up another very good example – light typeface. No matter how you enlarge it, it still is difficult to read.

Thanks for chiming in, Lisa.

See, Luana, that is a perfect example of why we shouldn’t categorize people. You’re right. Small font is small font – regardless of your age. 🙂

Like I said, it tends to be a sensitive subject for me right now with my vision problem.

Thanks for stopping by and sharing your thoughts on the subject, Luana.

I can tell you, as a member of the young generation, that extra-small font sizes are a source of problems for us ‘kids’, too: they mean extra work for the eyes and headaches (or worse, migrains) hit hard sooner or later. Many students and young workers soon wear prescription glasses because of this.

It’s not healthy. For anyone.

Just google ‘font size too small’ and count the number of requests to use bigger fonts on several websites. 😉

Ann, pass my comment along too… and I’m exactly your market… grey on grey looks like fog.

We’re not headed out to pasture yet, however it would be wise to invest in the businesses that will be booming sooner than later (assisted living, nursing home, etc,)
