Retirement

My friend-with-a-better-blog-than-mine Chuck shared a link with me showing off various new robot designs.

What surprised me was how many were health care related... Which makes a whole bunch of sense.

The end game of growing old has always seemed a depressing venture to me, the examples I have seen make it seem like a nearly totally dismal way of continuing.

But after seeing a robot spoon feed someone, I have to wonder if maybe in 40 years, old age won't be as bad. If the prospect of retirement just means my job is to sit around and play video games while a robot changes my diaper, then it just may be that my old age might be a lot like my youth, without the need for irritating bathroom breaks.
