영어회화, How do we think about getting old?

Hello everyone,

I recently watched a moive called "In time"

It's a stroy about humanity where aging stops after the age of 25.

It was quite interesting and makes me think a lot.

Now I have a few questions.

 

 

---

1. If you imagine that we could live in good health for another 100 or 200 years,

How would this chage us?

(If you don't understand the question, refer to the back part of the video)

- I might be sure that it wouldbe disaster. the reason why I assume that would be disaster is we can refelct this case on our current situation.

Back to 1800, we believed that machine could work anything instead of human. and human could have much more free time to do whatever they want.

but nowdays, It turned out that is not true. we are still working untill we are alive and obsessed with money or power or small things like relationship.

I can't see many positive ways in future when you could live more than 100 years.

I assume that It could be not really different from now. just people will work as much old as they can. 

 

2. What if people didn't age after 25?

In other words, what if there were no elderly people in this world?

- I'm not sure whether I understand this questions or not. 

However, I think that there are good things from senior.

In my opinion, If there are no elderly people in world. It also could be boring.

First, I'm the person who love listening to elder people's story like their whole life additionally there are some wisdom too. we can have some good cook recipe or some know-how in many ways.

Second, I love old scool. some people call it classic. For instance, I have table clock in my table which is next to my bed.maybe some people also have it but it might be digital clock.but mine is analog clock. this kind of old tool or toll fashion makes me unique.I think that this classic tool or equipment or device still come out for elder people.

 

3. What do you think about aging? Is it a natrual process or something to avoid?

- I know getting old is natural process and it is inevitable.

but I hope to avoid gettting old. It means physically and mentally.

First, physically, I don't want to feel I can't doing something which are easily used to do it.

for example, I was really good at memorizing everything. but when I feel getting old. 

my idea was change. once I feel my memorzing is bad. I accepted it because of getting old.

It felt really miserable but I understood this is order of nature at the same time.
