if you ever end up in a rest home for the elderly..?

Question

how do you envision it?
In todays society, they have box's of 45 vinyl records and talk about the war...knit...have perms...what will 'we' be like as the next generation of oldies?

90 years old and complaining cos some old biddy has taken your my chemical romance cd? instead of all in a circle round the tv, ...will we all be loners just pressing *play all songs* on our ancient i pods?? will we be using our laptops and downloading songs from the good old days? like the 80's... will we instead of dusting off our trombones, be tuning our old electric guitars and telling grandchildren that we used to have these HUGE discs called CD's??
will they gasp in horror at our videotapes? and laugh at the size of our monitors in photographs
how do you see it?

DO YOU KNOW WHAT? I WISH YOU JUST DELETE STUPID COMMENTS LIKE YOU CAN ON A BLOG. ITS A CURIOUS QUESTION AND QUITE SOUND ISNT IT???
WHY THE PATHETIC RESPONSE FROM SOME?
YOU THINK YOU'LL BE YOUNG FOREVER?
i'm just asking!??

Answer 2

My mother has just had her 90th birthday and we gave her a party. She said that if we played any music from the 2nd World War (Vera Lynn type things) she would walk out. She is very interested in my Computer, asks intelligent questions about the Internet and moans like h**l when the old biddies where she lives in sheltered housing start talking about the past. She says that her past is too long to talk about and that she finds today and the future much more interesting. So I hope that I will be like her if I am lucky enough to live to a great age, in continuing to show an interest in today and tomorrow and not regret what has passed and cannot be changed.

Answer 3

I think gangs of bored, alcohol and drug crazed coffin dodgers with little or no pension will roam the streets robbing and terrorising hard working teen-agers.

Teenagers will become totally boring, spending all of their time working hard at school or in part time jobs, in order to afford their college fees, car insurance and first mortgage, many will be kicked out by their rebellious parents and forced to live in young peoples homes.
