    BigScreenLive.com - Internet For the Older Generation

    Ever have to help your parents email an attachment? Does your grandmother complain about how confusing the internet is? Yes, old people sometimes just don’t get it. But that’s the reason for BigScreenLive.

    It’s been called the browser for old people. It offers an easy, intuitive browsing environment for older users who aren’t use to the net. At its core, it’s a downloadable app which makes everything—email, photo sharing, reading news, shopping and even playing games—easier. Content is displayed with clear, bold text in a readily understood format. Spam is automatically blocked. Families can set up multiple accounts. Extraneous and potentially confusing elements such as pop-ups, software update notices and download requests can be blocked. Email attachments can be instantly converted into text and graphics. BSL also runs right off a thumb drive which means seniors can take their easy browsing with them wherever they go. The service costs $9.95 a month but there is a free trial version available.

    Bigscreenlive.com In their own words

    “BigScreenLive makes computers and the Internet easy to use, instead of wasting time “figuring out how to make it work”. The intuitive specially designed software and your private BigScreenLive family network allows you to connect generations.”

    Why Bigscreenlive.com might be a killer

    BigScreenLive isn’t overly patronizing. It has simple and clearly defined features which make the net super easy for older users. It blocks out the frenetic extra stuff that most old folks don’t want to deal with. However, BSL isn’t over reaching—it does allow direct web access with Firefox built in. Email can be configured to suite more experienced users tastes.

    Some questions about Bigscreenlive.com

    Will BSL be able to traffic in enough buzz to attract older users? Is it too simplistic for families—will they bother with paying $9.95 a month especially as it’s pretty limited in what it can do?
