McKetta’s most startling prediction—though he doesn’t say when it’s going to happen—is that the human life span will be increased to 500 years.[…]But, playing along with this game, many of us must wonder how one of these future quincentenarians is going to manage to live so long in such a world — especially if he tries to cross a road where the self-propelled, electric-eye-driven automobiles are whizzing by.
