I'm in my mid fifties, my eyes are not what they were 30 years ago. My fingers a bit fatter than used to be also.

Being able to adjust the size of the UI elements would be really good. I'd like to see it done by category of use. Meaning that when I am on a desktop they are larger and when I am in a broswer or other application they are smaller. Most of the touching I do in browsing is on-page rather than on-UI. Usually I am interacting with the application elements and not the status or control elements. A "fade away" status/control element in the UI while focused on an application would allow more room for the application elements.
