Problem

With the advancement of technology and the post-COVID-19 era, South Korea has kiosks in most stores and a generation of people carrying smartphones. But is everyone feeling the convenience of these digital advancements?

The answer is no. There are digital marginalized groups with low levels of access to digital information, and seniors have the lowest level of access to information from the digital society. When it comes to using services, seniors are often intimidated by the complexity and difficulty of understanding features, and they continue to be marginalized from the digital society.

To solve this problem, the government is conducting digital education programs for seniors, but even with education, there are still seniors who struggle with complex screens.

About Silver Surfer

“Silver Surfer : For A World Where all seniors surf the digital sea”

Silver Surfer aims to create a world where seniors can easily access digital information and surf the digital world freely. Therefore, we provide designers and developers with mobile interface guidelines that address the challenges of seniors using smartphones, as well as UX/UI guidelines and implementation code. We hope that through these silver surfers, many service producers will produce apps with seniors in mind.

Our SDGs Goal

10 Reduced Inequalities

Aligned with the UN Sustainable Development Goals of ‘Reduced Inequalities’, Silver Surfer provides developers and designers with UX/UI guidelines and implementation code to guide the creation of various services. By doing so, we hope to ensure that older adults are no longer marginalized and can surf the digital world freely.
