Hey Grandad, can I have your digits?

070306_rakuraku_phone Japan continues to get older. NTT DoCoMo brings us a mobile phone for old people. According to Digital World Tokyo, the Raku-Raku phone includes things like a "slow voice" feature, slowing down the barking of younger siblings on the other end of the line.

The phone also uses a voice to read all the text-based messages for you. I don't think anyone over 60 can take a mobile keyboard off CAPS SHIFT or use punctuation. I hope they don't all think they're shouting at each other. And what happens when they discover text sex?
