I wish we lived little less, resulting in, less knowledge transfer, less technology, less of the destruction caused by humans on nature.
We live longer than most of the creatures of our size, and we have larger brain. That's the reason of the damage we create to the earth like swarms of locusts do to the green grass fields [1].
And still we wish more life! Sad!
On a serious note, the most intriguing thing I found in the article, is that, If you design & sell items specifically to elderly, they wont buy it. Because they don't want the product to remind that they are old.
So the solution is to design a product which suits to the elderly but seems like its designed for young generation.

Aren't a lot of products you see on infomercials exactly that?
I've seen people argue that it's a market failure or an inefficiency of capitalism that people are trying to market products for elderly and disabled people to younger people and families. From this it seems more likely the opposite. They are designed for the elderly or disabled but are falsely marketed to everyone in order to get their real target audience to buy it.
