Speaker 2:Could you?
Speaker 1:imagine like using VR to help seniors connect with people or even visit places from their past.
Speaker 2:It's really incredible when you think about it. Someone who can't physically travel could explore a museum in VR. Walk down the street they grew up on.
Speaker 1:Wow.
Speaker 2:It could be really powerful, you know, for memory, for someone feeling isolated.
Speaker 1:Powerful is right. Okay, then there's Moditech. They're based in Norway and they're all about video, but in a different way Getting seniors moving, thinking about the past.
Speaker 2:Moditech. They're fascinating. They have these videos like scenic bike rides, familiar places, so it encourages physical activity, but it's more than that.

Speaker 2:I'd say dive into this age tech library you shared. Think about the seniors. You know what do they need, what do they enjoy? Yeah, good point. One company might be a better fit than another. Do some research, think outside the box.
Speaker 1:Absolutely. This whole thing has got me thinking, you know Could this tech actually change how we see aging as a society. Could it help bridge the gap between generations?
Speaker 2:Those are great questions. Honestly, we need to be asking them. Technology, if we use it right, it can improve seniors' lives, sure, but it can also change how we think about aging altogether. It's an exciting time for this field.
