A Smarter City is the Smartest Gift to Give

I was at a friend’s birthday party recently and noticed something interesting about the presents he received from guests. The standard bottle of wine or tickets to a ball game don’t cut it anymore. The trendy gifts these days are gadgets that incorporate “smart” technologies, connect to your home and try to make life easier. You can speak to a radio to tell it to change the station, remotely lock the doors or turn off lights in your home and even buy an interactive refrigerator with touchscreen and internet access!

Ideagen - Annual Ideagen Global 2030 Leader Summit 2017

Kevin Donnellan, Chief of Staff of AARP, moderated the first Power Panel opening up the discussion about The Global Disruption of Aging. Mr. Donnellan says, "Our cultures, institutions, social supports and infrastructures have not kept up with the advancements in the way we age that science, technology and innovation had made continue to make possible; that's what the conversation needs to be about. We need to get rid of the outdated beliefs and the stereotypes about aging and spark new solutions, so that more of us can choose how we want to live and age. That means replacing old models that do not work with new ones that do and updating those, so that those of us who want to work can continue to work in the future".
