*Design Highlights* 
* Grandparent carries out all actions through the interface of an “address book,” which contains clickable buttons corresponding to each contact. All mode of communication options (including adding a contact) appear as overlays on top of the address book, so that the address book is always in sight. 
* Mode of communication is purposefully asymmetric to meet different needs. When grandparent sends voicemail, it is voice recorded on the grandparent’s side but sent as text/email to the grandchild’s side, to accommodate grandchild’s busy schedule. 

*Usability Analysis* 
# Learnability 
#* Pros 
#** Address book metaphor and mailbox metaphor together maintain some external consistency with grandparent’s existing method of keeping contacts, and thus lowers the learning curve. 
#* Cons 
#** Address book metaphor combined with dialing the desired contact may confuse a new user. In real life, one does not add to a paper address book by dialing the person’s number. 
# Efficiency 
#* Pros 
#** Grandparent never needs to type on the keyboard. 
#** Recording a voicemail is less time intensive than typing an email (provided the speech interface is easy to use). 
#** Younger family member receives voicemail as text, so can check message while doing other activities. 
#* Cons 
#** Grandparent must always go through a two-step process of selecting the desired contact before selecting the mode of communication (call vs. send voicemail). 
# Safety 
#* Pros 
#** Because the main page is never out of sight (all other functionality appear as overlays), cancelling an unwanted action is more visually intuitive; the “default” mode is always visible.
