  A new computer has been created for old people that may never have used a computer before allowing them to gain better access and reap the benefits of the world wide web. New representations through the use of this new interface will be seen on the Internet. Will it help alleviate fears of technology or really allow for greater inclusiveness of technologies by this new underrepresented group on the Internet. Will it really reduce the age gap "digital divide" with newer interfaces like this? Or will just be useful for old people that have knowledge of the Latin script as oppose to other racially variant old people? Another gap maybe?
