Worked in a nursing home once. Pushing floor washer, I could coax dementia patients to move by beeping & pretending I was a street cleaner.

I realized quickly which patients had grown up overseas: they always 'drove' their wheelchairs down left lane. And look at me funny.

Nothing gave me more joy than seeing smiles in response to: "Thanks ma'am! Sorry for t' trouble, trying to keep these streets clean for ya!"

I hope we can 'solve' dementia before those who've never driven reach that stage in their life. Aim: Less suffering.https://t.co/l1yEDya6il

If children are adopting smart phones as young as two... what kind of experiences will they have growing old?https://t.co/nhVH7PUqFJ

I think it'd be sweet if someone gave me a gameboy to play when I get old. Even if it's a simulated one. Spent my youth playing Zelda.

When I see trends in society like this... I always think about what it could mean in 80 years. When we're old.https://t.co/74JOyXq8f8

Because when I see technology, I don't think of machines or robots. I think of that little old lady smiling at me. 🤗https://t.co/0NR09VfudH

And ask yourself three things:What kind of future do I want for humanity?What will it take to get there?How can I help us move forward?
