The Ancients Go Mainstream
from the going-to-live-forever dept
Lifespans have always been a fascinating topic to discuss on those long nights in with friends. How long can we live? Well, the longest confirmed living person died at the ripe old age of 122 years (and get this, their have been reports that people have lived even longer). A lot of this is being attributed to increases in the general quality of life in industrial nations and the trend seems to be leading to a continually increasing lifespan in these nations. It's funny how sci-fi gradually becomes a reality.
Thank you for reading this Techdirt post. With so many things competing for everyone’s attention these days, we really appreciate you giving us your time. We work hard every day to put quality content out there for our community.
Techdirt is one of the few remaining truly independent media outlets. We do not have a giant corporation behind us, and we rely heavily on our community to support us, in an age when advertisers are increasingly uninterested in sponsoring small, independent sites — especially a site like ours that is unwilling to pull punches in its reporting and analysis.
While other websites have resorted to paywalls, registration requirements, and increasingly annoying/intrusive advertising, we have always kept Techdirt open and available to anyone. But in order to continue doing so, we need your support. We offer a variety of ways for our readers to support us, from direct donations to special subscriptions and cool merchandise — and every little bit helps. Thank you.
–The Techdirt Team
