Different Generations

The idea for designing for a generation is an interesting idea. However, designing for a specific demographic is something that I feel is too narrow minded. I feel as though a designers goal should be to make a product that is accessible to all. While great products can be made for certain types of people. I feel as though something that can cater to every ones abilities and interest is what a designer should strive for. I do realize that as a designer you are given restrictions and guide lines by clients and you often design for a specific type of person. But having a product or website that can bring other people in to the medium and get them active and interested in it has a much better end result. Especially if you are catering your design towards something that is as broad as a generation. Not only are their a great deal of people from different generations, but not everyone in the same generation is going to have a similar experience. Leading to some people feeling alienated.
