With God's will, or if you don't believe in God, pure luck you will be of old age one day. I do not think they are useless or worthless. If you actually can have conversation with some elderly, you can learn from them. This younger generation relies so much on technology and it becomes havoc when a machine goes down or the power goes out. I remember when Hurricane Wilma hit and people had to add prices and taxes to items, it took them forever because they have lost that skill for math by depending on calculators so much. That is besides the point, I know.
Only problem I have with the elderly is their driving habbits. By them driving under the speed limit and having bad reaction timing, I feel that a person should have a mandatory, free drivers test every year starting at retirement age. I live in Florida and the traffic is horrible, but manageable. It is just dangerous that when you are driving the speed limit and change lanes and almost slam into the back of an elderly driver because the speed limit is 45 and they are doing 30, for no reason. Still, cell phones cause more accidents.
What should we do with our unwanted senior citizens?
