If you think adventure is dangerous

Try routine, its deadly! 

Today, elders benefit from longer lives, better health care, improved old age facilities ... but also suffer from global technological advancement; they are no longer solicited for their knowledge as they once were in traditional societies (instead been shunned for Google), they are overwhelmed by the complexity of products and services that were once more simplistic (the perils of the TV remote, for example) ;  they are unable to adapt quick enough to the rapidly changing environment that we have created. Where traditionally elders were held in high esteem and cherished at the heart of a close-knit family, in some respects our modern world has isolated and devalued their knowledge, experience and wisdom.

Lets challenge ourselves to find how we can better tap into their abilities and strengths to empower our aging population, give them more satisfying lives and benefit society as a whole.
