A lot of it, I think, has to do with getting cautious because a 70 year old, who makes a costly mistake has a lot more to lose than a 25 year old who makes the same costly mistake.

For the same mistake, I think most people would be more willing to forgive a young person than a senior.

Could it be that older people have learned the hard way the value of thinking things through rather than believing the first thing that flies into their head is the final answer?

Maybe so, but they sure drive slow.

70-year-olds may have response times similar to those of 25-year olds.

Just watch Grandma espy that lone cookie on the counter at the same time as does little Timmy. Timmy will be pulling back a stump as Granny is wolfing down that Toll-house...

Going on 63, my thought processes are definitely slowing a tad — but when they do, I just pop one of those new “Brainagra” pills, and things snap back into shape!

The memory pill was a failure. Nobody could remember to take them.
