Who knows what will happen in the future. But in my viewpoint, elderly people will also incorporate technology in their lives in the future. Currently, we see that the older ones and our grandparents or our parents are not quite familiar with AI and other technological developments. They like to stick to manual work of, uh, art. They don’t use their mobile if they have to talk to someone, they may email them, or they may stick to conventional methods of communication. They may even use telephones rather than picking up mobile and making the call all over the world they want to. So I think in the future this act might change, and elderly people will easily incorporate technology in their daily life, such as using AI models and automating their daily work. And I think they would be able to relate more with the younger and future generations as, uh, they also become digitally intellectual.

It's impossible to say for sure what the future holds, but I believe the lives of elderly people will be significantly impacted by technology. Currently, many older individuals are not as comfortable with AI and other technological advancements as younger generations. They often prefer traditional methods, like manual tasks or face-to-face communication. However, I think this will change in the future. Elderly people will become more adept at using technology, integrating AI models and automation into their daily routines. This increased technological literacy will allow them to connect more easily with younger generations and participate more fully in a digitally driven world. They might use smart devices to manage their health, stay connected with loved ones, and even learn new skills. The future could see a more digitally engaged and empowered elderly population, bridging the gap between generations and embracing the possibilities of technology.
