thot

My aunt is 102 years old.  While her quality of life is compromised due to visual and hearing impairments, her memory is amazing.  She has stories of growing up, living through the depression, the world wars and without so much  and yet in that survived and lived so long.  And to be so healthy.  Her life spans so much from phones to dishwashers to cars with voice activated GPS.  I wonder if there will be that many technological and industrial advancement to improve our quality of life during the span of my life.  We have it pretty good.  If too much more is added will it be at the expense of our creativity, ingenuity and  health.  Part of staying healthy is keeping the body and mind active in working and figuring things out.  When all we have to do is to voice activate something to get what we want, will life even be fun or will fun be something undefined that we don't know or have or understand now.
