The rapidly aging population of Japan is now considered a serious social problem. In fact, populations are aging worldwide,
and considerable research has been done on the phenomenon. One area that has been researched is Web page design. Some common
guidelines for Web content or page designs make it difficult or impossible for people with certain cognitive or visual disabilities
to read moving text quickly enough. Movement can also distract these people to such an extent that the rest of the page becomes
unreadable, and people with physical disabilities might not be able to move quickly or accurately enough to interact with
moving objects [6]. With this in mind, experiments were conducted on 24 people in their twenties and thirties in Yokosuka-shi,
Japan and on 18 elderly people in Beijing, China. The results were then compared.
