What if #5: What if the average life span was doubled?

It is almost considered a miracle to live past 100 years old. To think if the average life span was 200 is unimaginable. So much can happen in a day, a week, a month, a year; but to think how much that can happen in 200 years is slightly overwhelming. Old people thrive off of telling stories. My grandfather would rant for 3 hours about being in the war. I specifically remember him tell a story about the war plane that he flew that lasted a good hour and a half. An hour and a half story about a war plane--must've been an interesting experience. However, some of the stories I have heard from elders are pretty interesting. To think that they grew up in a time with no computers, cell phones, video games, or iPods is pretty unthinkable for our generation. They had to entertain themselves in a totally different way than we can entertain ourselves now. Music was a huge part of entertainment for them; but they didn't have the access to it like we do now. Either they had to buy tons of records, or learn an instrument themselves. I think it is so great that they have seen technology develop from barely anything to almost everything. If we were to live double the average life span, we would experience 200 years of changes of the world. So many life lessons would be learned, yet there would be so many more chances of bad times. We would hold so many memories, meet so many different people, see so many different places, and live such interesting lives. Our stories would beat any story of our grandparents, so let's fiigure out how to live longer. I'm in.
