Life Expectancy Has Been Up - Aging Technology is Blossoming Into a Thriving Business!
I regularly write about the benefits that technology is attaching to our rising life expectancy.
I also suggest that the elderly are quite often victimized by their own outdated anticipation; not understanding that they can usually live not only longer, but better.
A typical beliefs in accordance with past experience and wisdom is that the benefits of technology are concentrated only on young people.
In fact, technology companies are recognizing that senior citizens now manage a huge portion of the expendable income, and they are rushing to meet their wants and dreams.
The 50-and-over-crowd will be about one-third of the population of the United States and will outspend younger shoppers by approximately $1 trillion in 2010.
Most of us will react by saying, "They are referring to some other senior citizens.
" However, we must note that we can still rake in the benefits of this phenomenon if we keep our eyes open for them.
Older folks should be interested in the development of a senior technology economy for 2 good reasons: 1.
It will imply a better quality of life for us.
When we look hopefully at our present circumstances, we will see a much different picture for aging than our parents did.
As an example, the Internet is, on the whole, free.
Optimistic people are going to use this cheap resource to engage in enjoyable lives.
2.
Seniors can earn money longer and more easily.
Income can be earned working at home using personal computers and the Internet.
Moreover, as the population ages, more and more of the business economy is controlled by senior citizens.
I am familiar with a man who retired from a "9 to 5" business while he was 60 years of age.
He had been involved in purchasing and handling a certain type of specialized equipment for the last 20 years of his occupation.
Immediately upon his "retirement" he was approached by a vendor of that type of equipment and offered a very rewarding position selling it, on his own schedule, with a company car and all other costs paid.
He traveled with his wife (when he wanted to) at the vendor's cost.
When he wanted to stay home he made use of the telephone and Internet to communicate and do paperwork.
Why did that vendor pay him so well to advance from being a consumer to being a seller? They told him candidly that it was because most of the big buying decision-makers for their equipment were his peers, senior citizens or approaching senior citizenship, and they trusted him for that reason.
The potentials for making money while working in your pajamas are ample and potentially lucrative.
The opportunities are springing up a lot faster than we can explore them.
We just have to move beyond our outmoded thoughts and expectations about aging and start surfing!
