How Old is Old?

How old is old? In my opinion, 80 is old.

When you're 80, your bones are weaker and you can't be as active.You may use a walker or a cane. You walk slower and take a bit more time to get some tasks done (ex: bathing). You wouldn't be going for a run everyday. You would need glasses and may use a hearing aid. You would go to the doctor's more often for check-ups.

When you're 80, you are retired and may live in a care home. You wouldn't be able to visit your children. Instead, your children will have to visit you. Your freedom is limited. You can't do whatever you want when you want.

When you're 80, you wouldn't have had the technology that we have today. You wouldn't have a television, a Wii or a cellphone. You won't be able to turn on a computer and do the things that we can do today. You wouldn't know much about Facebook or Twitter. And if you had any electronics, they would be way bigger or way smaller than they are today. Instead of playing video games, you would play outside.

I think that 80 is old and these are some reasons why I think that.

    I think your reasoning where great on why you think 80 is old
    I like the part how they wouldn't be able to play video games because back then they never had and video games and if they did they were big and the graphics where boring!!!
