Yellow goggles and earplugs are the final touch on the outfit, making it difficult to read and hear some things.</p> <p>The idea behind the technology is to help those creating public transportation and retail spaces for older adults understand what challenges those people may have. Researchers sent students out to grocery stores wearing the suit to find low-sodium, low-sugar, and low-fat products that are typically purchased by older adults, and the students found it difficult to do so.</p> <p>In addition to <a href="https://web.archive.org/web/20120104084320/http://alum.mit.edu/pages/sliceofmit/2011/12/28/what%E2%80%99s-it-like-to-be-75-years-old-try-this-on/" target="_blank">AGNES</a>, the group has also created an <a href="https://web.archive.org/web/20120104084320/http://agelab.mit.edu/awarecar" target="_blank">AwareCar</a> for better understanding the driving difficulties senior citizens may face.</p> <p>Curious about what the suit looks like in action?

This article was written by a younger person or persons who have little idea of what being 75 may mean. The stereotype they use is absurdly limited. I am 74, have none of the disabilities mentioned, take no medications of any sort, work full time as a maintenance technician at two restaurants, carry on a side business as a truck and car mechanic, am doing research on global warming, and do all of the yard work on a very steep hillside acre of land, on which I plant and tend numerous fruit trees among other things. The "typical" "old" person they reference must have spent most of his life watching TV and eating white bread, hydrogenated oil, and bacon for breakfast, with artificial sweeteners, artificial flavors and colors, and lots of other environmental toxins added in. Since I was aware of the importance of good nutrition and avoidance of stupid chemistry (pesticides, hairspray, deodorant soap, herbicides, etc) for the past 60 years, I have avoided all of the common illnesses and degenerative problems that are wrongly accepted as inevitable by "modern society". What you folks need to develop is a "brain suit" that "replicates" what it would be like to be able to think clearly. </p> <img src="https://web.archive.org/web/20120104084320im_/http://images.gizmag.com/layout/icons/comment.png" alt="comment"> <span class="name">jjgg38</span> <span class="date">- January 3, 2012 @ 09:12 am PST</span> <div class="clear_both"></div> </div> <div id="comment-100402" class="a_comment"> <p>This is pure BS!

He snow-skis every year along with hi 83 year old ski partner who is marrying a 77 year who also skis every year! I met up with a group of skiers who are a club that only accepts 60 and up skiers! Not a single one of them walked with a stoop, none of them creaked or moaned...they were spry and light in foot when they walked...*EVEN* while wearing ski boots indoors!

MOST people in their 70s do, in fact, experience some challenges in mobility, vision, and hearing, even more so in their 80s. Most people are dead before they reach 90 (source: CDC mortality charts). Anecdotes prove NOTHING. </p> <p></p> <p>There are also plenty of anecdotes of people who keeled over in their 60s, 50s, 40s from heart attacks or cancer, despite "healthy" lifestyles (e.g. Adele Davis, Jim Fixx). That doesn't mean that people, in general, don't benefit from adopting a "healthy" diet and staying fit. </p> <p></p> <p>Both my grandfathers lived past 90, my father is alive and functional at 93, my mother lived to be 90, so it's a fair chance I've got "longevity genes," which may be more important than environmental influences. That doesn't mean I won't experience some vision, hearing, and mobility issues in the next 2 or 3 decades, and doesn't guarantee I'll be alive next week- despite my "healthy" diet and exercise regimen. </p> <img src="https://web.archive.org/web/20120104084320im_/http://images.gizmag.com/layout/icons/comment.png" alt="comment"> <span class="name">William H Lanteigne</span> <span class="date">- January 3, 2012 @ 09:52 pm PST</span> <div class="clear_both"></div> </div> <div id="comment-100561" class="a_comment"> <p>U don't need a suit dat will make u feel younger if u make sure 2 stay healthy. </p> <p></p> <p>This article may b written by a person younger than 75, but it doesn't mean dat he has no knowledge of being 75. </p> <p></p> <p>True this is a stereotype of an unhealthy 75, every1 knows dat much dat if u stay healthy then it doesn't matter how old u r. </p> <p></p> <p>Gosh ppl gotta stop taking this so seriously, On the positive side, I think this is in more detail meant 4 young ppl 2 feel how it's like 2 b 75 (unhealthy, disability or wutever) so they know wut it's more like and take better care or themselves.
