I am unexpectedly in Miami Florida for a couple of days on business and have taken the opportunity to check out some retail trends while I am here. Miami is known for its population of retirees, helped in part by the TV series The Golden Girls.
What is interesting to me is the number of people using devices. From what I can see, age is no barrier. While reading books appeals to be the main use at the beach and by the pool, there are plenty of people using Apps on their iPhone. There was one chap who I’d guess is in his nineties engrossed in a book on an iPad.
I mention this because often it’s said that mobile devices are more used by younger people. That’s not the case here in Florida from what I am seeing.
