The U.S. population is getting older, and Americans are living
longer, on average, than they ever have before. As they age, people
are healthier and more active than the generations before them and
have fewer functional limitations such as difficulty walking or
blindness. Studies show that people are happier on average as they
advance into their later decades and enjoy high levels of
accumulated knowledge and experience. Getting older is a time of
social, emotional, mental, and physical change. Retirement might
change how a person interacts socially every day, affecting a
persons mood and well-being. Cognitive aging--the normal process of
cognitive change as a person gets older--can begin, or a permanent
change in physical function may arise. Technology offers a path for
people who are navigating these changes potentially to prevent or
minimise the risks associated with them and to enhance peoples
ability to live their lives fully. The Presidents Council of
Advisors on Science and Technology (PCAST), seeks to identify
technologies and policies that will maximise the independence,
productivity, and engagement of Americans in their later years.
This book focuses on four key changes older Americans often
experience: hearing loss; loss of social engagement and
connectivity; cognitive change; and physical change.
