Technological changes in several fields of knowledge are bringing about an increase in the proportion of the world’s elderly (age 65 plus). Still, the USA might be a bit ahead of the trend than most other nations. The elderly 52 million of us in 2018 were 16% of the population and will grow to 95 million or 24% of the population by 2060 (U.S. Census Bureau); both the number and percentage of geezers will bring about significant changes that the current culture will find difficult to accept.
