It's all about how a person feels about their own self and that becomes their age.

What if dates never existed, then how would we know what age we were? Just a thought

I think you'd be surprised. As said in that article, 30% of internet usage is done by the over 50's! So I think it's good to aim products and sites at this audience.

And so on the 40 & 50 plus can feel like 25-30, that is the reason 90% top Hollywood stars are 40 and 50 plus.

Bungee jumping is about taking risk, very less people are open for that though.

Yeah but what they surf ? People dealing with specific products targeted to elderly people should know that.

I think you'd be surprised actually! I know some of my older residents do loads of things on the internet! Shopping, family history things, news, music! They seem to do far more things than I do! Maybe I'm getting boring in my youth!

Oh yes! I've found them looking for events, concerts, luxury, medicine, investment, health sites and you will surprise few are looking for dating web site hosting too. lol.

As rich says you might be feeling like 40.

**jc8654** · #27 (**permalink**) 31-10-2007, 14:35

I'm sure on some days I do! Lol.

But it's always interesting about what people feel like doing etc. People often don't age in their mind, it's what their body tells them they can and can't do!

And if we didn't have dates, it would make communication a pain, correspondence annoying and astronomy a nightmare!

Well, it all about individual feelings and law of attraction en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Law_of_Attraction that I firmly believe, if you will think positive it will attract lot of positive things.

**rich** · #29 (**permalink**) 06-11-2007, 14:11

I would agree with you on that one paul because if one thinks positively even the actions will be positive just like the thoughts and if a person is not good up in there then nothing good can be derived from it.

**paul** · #30 (**permalink**) 06-11-2007, 14:39

Well, thesecret.tv/home.html is all about that it really change the attitude those need positive approach IMO.

Age is not a factor when it comes to death, it can happen at any moment, anytime to anyone, so just enjoy fullest each day.

Earlier the average life span of a human being was around 70 years but now that average life span has decreased considerably due to the stress and lifestyle people are into which is also a cause for deadly ailments and diseases in early phase but yes definitely if an old person thinks like a young dude in its mind then even 80 or 90 years won’t be an old age for them. It’s all about positive or negative thinking I must say.

That's true. Bit off the discussion but Microsoft is like that as well... in a sense.
