According to the 2017 census, 47 million seniors live in the United States. That number will almost double by 2060, surpassing the number by 2060. Their wealth of knowledge, skill, and experience will be so helpful to the next generation. These are the people who have lived through each step of change as technology progresses. Not only have they contributed to it, but they also know the benefits and the drawbacks first hand. They live without the advancements that exist today.
Our senior citizens are scientists of science, medicine, psychology, civil rights, and so much more. Their valuable contributions to our families help create safer places to live. Their contributions are deserving of the respect and reverence they so richly receive. Senior citizens are encouraged to live their lives to the fullest and as independently as possible, according to the day.
