At the very least, technology is propelling us as individuals toward the outer range of our life span as a race. In nearly every species, the oldest age attained is roughly six times what it takes to reach maturity from birth.
Mayflies mature like lightning and die by day's end.
Galapagos turtles, notorious late bloomers, live to 200 years. That puts life-span potential, barring accidents and disease, at 108 to 120 years. Not only will we live longer, futurists say, but we'll also live more comfortably. Architects and planners will realize that steps are too narrow and steep, cupboards too high, fluorescent lights too bright for people with glaucoma. We will have smart clothes that respond to body temperature.
