For those who lack the technical aptitude to use a smartphone (e.g. children, the elderly), a device that shows information in random places in the home is much more useful.

It’s more than that. Anything like this that takes me away from constantly checking my phone, and can be glanced at by the whole family is better.
Plenty of elderly people have the aptitude to use a smart phone. It's shockingly ageist to assume that old == inept.
No, it's ableist to ignore the fact that many people _do_ have such issues, and many people don't but start having problems as they age.
It’s also offensive to only think older people have these problems. Have any of you considered race or sex or gender when talking about these issues? It’s really offensive not to include all these other categories. Maybe certain genders have this problem or maybe I enjoy getting offended by everything.
