Besides maybe something monumental like the telephone, I don't think  
its possible to design a product for "everyone". Even if you're  
target audience is pretty big and broad, you still should have a  
target demographic you are designing for . . . starting with basic  
Who, What, How, Why type questions will help start the focus process.

Good luck,
