Ja but what I am comparing is people who were in their 80s in the 1960s (such as my great grandmother) to people in their 80s now.  I recall anyone who made it to 80 back then appeared to have one foot… you know the saying.  The stuff they said generally didn’t make sense, they seemed to mysteriously know stuff like how to operate those weird devices we kids didn’t recognize.  

 

But now, plenty of us know people in their 80s who are just going along doing the normal things, in what appears to be good health, they use the internet, they do normal things.  Might do them a bit slower, but they do them.  80 is the new 60.
