Demographics tell us a lot about the make up of the audience and its our
business to know that kind of thing. Furthermore, Fact, the vast
majority of people over 65 have no independent income and live on their
state pension. Fact, While it's true that some older people have
embraced technology, the vast majority simply don't get or haven't had
the opportunity. Fact, the vast majority of people of that age who lose
their sight have things more central to their lives to worry about than
computers like using their electric kettle safely, feeding themselves,
getting out and avoiding isolation.
Finally what evidence do you have to the contrary?

"The vast majority of the show's VI audience are over the age of
sixty-five, have no use for nor interest in the kinds of gadgets on
display at SV, let alone the money to be able to afford to buy them.
Sorry is the above fact or opinion.
What is the evidence that:
the vast majority of the show's VI audience are over the age of
sixty-five and don't have much money or an interest in what's on show
aat SV.
I think it's dangerous to make assumptions on an issue that can't ever
be proven one way or the other way.
And someone please correct me if I am wrong but is it not correct to say
that SV does or can have products that elderly blind may be
interested in, ie what's on offer is not all aimed at the younger
folks.

Derek
