Life Expectancy Seems To Be Up: Anti Aging Technology Solutions Are Evolving Into A Popular Business

Life Expectancy Seems To Be Up: Anti Aging Technology Solutions Are Evolving Into A Popular Business!I frequently write about the benefits that technology is delivering to our increasing life expectancy. I also suggest that the elderly are too often victimized by their own outdated anticipation; not understanding that they can usually live not only longer, but better. One of the common beliefs in accordance with past experience and insight is that the advantages of technology are focused only on youngsters. In fact, technology companies are realizing that senior citizens now manage a huge portion of the disposable earning, and they are rushing to meet their wants and desires.The 50-and-over-crowd will be about one-third of the population of the United States and will spend more than younger shoppers by approximately $1 trillion in 2010. Most of us will react by saying, "They are referring to other senior citizens." However, we must be aware that we can still get the advantages of this phenomenon if we keep our eyes open for them.Senior citizens should be interested in the rise of a senior technology economy for 2 good reasons: 1. It will mean a better quality of life for us. When we look hopefully at our current circumstances, we will see a much different picture for aging than our parents did. For instance, the Internet is, generally, free. Optimistic people are likely to use this inexpensive resource to engage in interesting lives. 2. Seniors can earn money longer and easily. Income can be earned working at home using personal computers and the Internet. Moreover, as the population ages, increasingly more of the business economy is managed by senior citizens. I am acquainted with a man who retired from a "9 to 5" business while he was 60 years of age. He had been involved in ordering and handling a certain type of specialized equipment over the last 20 years of his career. Immediately upon his "retirement" he was approached by one of the vendors of that kind of equipment and offered a very rewarding position selling it, on his own schedule, with a corporate car and all other costs paid. He traveled with his wife (whenever he wanted to) at the vendor's cost. When he needed to stay home he made use of the telephone and Internet to communicate and do paperwork. Why did that vendor compensate him so well to jump from being a consumer to being a seller? They told him candidly that it was because the majority of the big buying decision-makers for their equipment were his peers, older folks or approaching senior citizenship, and they believed in him for that reason.The potentials for making money while working in your pajamas are abundant and potentially lucrative. The opportunities are springing up much faster than we can explore them. We just have to move beyond our outmoded ideas and expectations about aging and begin surfing!For more information on this and other topics of interest to senior citizens, see our website Going Strong Seniors! - Anti-aging for Senior CitizensFor more articles about the theChristian life see The Renewal Journal! -The Rocky Road to Christian Sanctificationwood porch swings
