	yes, I had my 80th birthday today a few aches and pains (more some days than others), but inside my head, I'm nowhere near that age! I never thought I would be 80, just as I never thought I would still be alive in 2020 (let alone 2000), but thinking back to the 60s and what was prophesied life would be like "today" .................... is life anything like what you thought it would be??? We have a little more money and a more comfortable life than I would have imagined, but otherwise we have none of those robotic things! We don't fly around everywhere, we prefer the quieter slower travel on trains. We don't have a driver-less car, but we also don't drive long distances. We read books and newspapers, not watch or read on our iPad (which we don't have. We're happy, which is everything!
