That s easy for me to do. The tough task is to try to relate all of it to technology and to the particular issues that are of concern to this conference. To tie it all in, I am going to talk to you about aging from several economic perspectives. First, we need to define aging in a more precise way, or at least distinguish between the components of aging. Finally, we will take a broad view of where we might be headed as a society as we think about aging.
Education is a common answer.
In the recent presidential campaign, both candidates listed education as a priority. A lot of people list crime as a priority. We have had some reduction in crime rates, but crime among youths is still on many agendas. Youth poverty is always a top priority. What is never listed is the fact that we re living longer.
