4.5.1. Positive Impacts
Accordingly to research [32], around 15% of the current world population has some sort of disabilities
and also the number of elderly persons increasing day by day. Furthermore, this research shows that,
by year 2020 more than 1000 million people over 60 years age will be living on this planet [33].
Keeping this in mind and looking into the capabilities of Smartphone, it is apparent that in such a
situation Smartphone will play an important role in the integration process of people with special needs
and elderly age. Smartphone‘s are capable to give this group of people the opportunity to live more
independently. The more they can do by themselves, the better they will feel and enjoy the life.
