Advantages and disadvantages of living longer

In the past there were many people who lived a lot of years. Maybe some of our grandparents are examples of that. Are people who live more than eighty years, the society name to this condition longevity.

Nowadays it's too ifficult to live more than 65 years compared with our grandparents it's a few years, but this happens because the way of life and the kind of food. Those are some factors that helped to his people many years ago. Today we eat a lot of fast food and this contains too many substances that are bad for our bodies. Also we don´t do exercise, the youngest people only watch TV and play video games, and do other activities so differents than older people do in their youth. Like work in the family's farm, take care of the cows, and the girls did the house's activities and others. There are others reasons but I only mentioned those.

There are advantages and disadvantages of be a person who lives a lot of years. Maybe older people have technological disadvantages because the technology increased a lot in a recent years. For example the computers are a big problem for them because today we do everything with the help of computers, like in our jobs, in the university, etc. Other problems are the cell phones, this too dificult to use for the older people. I can see that with my grandparents, they bougth one and they can´t use it because is so complicated for them.

Other disadvantage is theat diseases appear in the life of older people. There are common diseases like in the bones, in the heart, in the legs, etc. The older people are more sensible to suffer a disease than the younger people. Because the defenses are low and their bodies don´t have the same strength like when they were young. I think this disadvantage is one of the most dangerous because this can produce their death.

In the other hand there are advantages of be an older person. You can enjoy a lot of years with your family, you can see how other generations grow up. Also you can see the changes of time, the development of the life and technology. You can make plans because you have a lot of years and you can make them reality. It means you have around a century to do, to see and make do things.

I think the advantages and disadvantages of living longer depends of the thought and personality of every person, because everybody thinks differently. I want to live long but some people disagree, so it depends on the person.
