I've been watching the TryGuys do a series over old age. They had old age makeup done. They wore outfits to simulate the basic pain that most old people feel. They did their bests to explore the discomfort and aspects of this facet of our lives.
One of the things that struck me is how people know there are products and appliances that would make old age easier, but tend not to make them because they don't think people will buy 'old people' products. While this is probably true, it's sad and counterproductive. Old age is part of life, just like any other phase. Anything that makes it easier should be embraced.
As I've written about before, I believe people should design their homes around the idea that one day they could be disabled. It is something that happens to many people. Might as well prepare for it.
