Masako Wakamiya is an 81 year old Japanese woman
who began using computers at the age of 60.
Now at 81, she's just launched her first smartphone app. She says she
felt compelled to do something after noticing a shortage of fun apps aimed at
people her age.
"We easily lose
games when playing against young people, since our finger movements can't match
their speed. I wanted to create a fun app to get elderly people interested in
smartphones.It took about half a year to develop" Wakamiya said.
Her app, Hinadan, is an iOS game based on Japan's traditional festival
Hinamatsuri, or Doll's Day, which is celebrated in early March.
