At an event this week with that title – it makes you wonder. What will living to 100 be like in 40 years? In 2014, there were 72,197 Americans aged 100 or older, according to a report from the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention. That number is up 44% since 2000, so that is presumably the good news. Moving forward, the projection is for an even more impressive number – 603,971 anticipated by 2060. The bad news?

Will they be just as eager then as they are now to leave the driving to a Google engineer – or will they be as cautious as today’s boomers? Will these 50-year-olds be walking slowly, bent over as they cross the street, the image of 'old.' Maybe at 50, they will not be as ignorant as this video shows them to be now.
