Description:

How old is old to you? Imagine what it would be like if the only tool you had for determining a person’s “oldness factor” was the vibrancy of his or her personality and passion for life. A survey by the Pew Research Center indicates that most people see old age as beginning around sixty-eight, while those already in their “golden years” believe that a better estimate is seventy-five years. If we’re talking about defining “old” as simply the seventy-fifth time a person circles the sun, enjoy the ride. But what if we had no concept of time …  or any physical evidence of the aging process? How about if we don’t use wrinkles, age spots, gray hair, no hair, declining memory, and other things as a clue to tell someone’s age.
