The longevity increment that we have witnessed in the past century was a result of people who worked hard but started benefiting from a certain set of cumulative factors that all put together allowed people to live longer. Better education, better nourishment, improved higyene conditions and better health care. Enter the couch potato generation. The below 30 years old guys, huge 1.90m tall guys, with his stuff on backpack. I'm the only one carrying a brief case. They don't have power in their arms and shoulders to carry a brief case. Look around and see for yourselves. In BKK one need to climb up the Overhead trains' platform (jay walk carries 200Baht penalty) to cross the street: "hey, where we are going! We've got to cross the road here." I wanted to walk upstairs. "Keep going we lets get to the escalator." No energy! I was going to meet a friend of mine at the overhead train station. Couldn't find him. He went all the way to the end of the platform to find a place to seat!! "They've got no chairs in this train stations!" He complained. Two-three blocks and he starts complaing of the walk!!!! My friend's not a lazy guy, goes to the gym three times a week. Absolutely no power. No energy!!! You can't change a gear of the car since there is automatic transmission. You don't run up a couple of steps since there is escalators everywhere. There is rolling escalators in airports. Junk food. Lack of exercise. Lazyness and the the benefits of longevity are reverted. Welcome to generation W. W is for weak. Slowly longevity reverts back to 50 max. 60 years of age.
