   I am not elderly yet, being 53,   
   but I am used to computers for 35 years.   
      
   Many elderly persons without any special background in IT   
   do not have problems with Android.   
   The prior IT knowledge may be even a disadvantage, in some aspects,   
   as OS GUI oriented to small touch screen devices  differs to   
    classical KBD/mouse controlled OSs.   
      
   Windows 8 was IMHO much worse. :-)   
   I do not remember cursing Android GUI,   
   but I do remember doing it for Win8 many times.   
      
   Android is just like Windows, but with more preinstalled applications.   
      
   There is multi screen desktop similar to Windows, where icons are   
    just shortcuts.   
   You can move less used shortcuts to a desktop folder (You create   
    one by dragging icon on another icon),   
   You can delete unwanted shortcuts or delete with uninstall   
    unwanted application.   
      
   Some apps cannot be uninstalled, just disabled, but their   
    shortcuts can be.   
      
   You can invoke the list of icons of all applications, what is like   
    listing subfolders of Program Files in Windows.   
      
   You can arrange like myself shortcut icons to topical folders, like   
   System   
   Multimedia   
   Travel   
   Tool   
   Info   
   EditView   
   etc   
      
   Various Android version differ in details, but the above is more   
    or less true for all.
