I am very pleased by this post. I am 60, people around me age and it is sometimes a not very pleasant experience. What is important when you are very old and impotent? I think that is to, still be able to interact with other people. The time we spend on social networks, including this one, shows that interaction is what matters. Here it is very limited, but what if we would be able to couple HN with some kind of "social network butler" to interact with the physical world. It would fulfill both the need of social interaction and the capacity to do stuff. After that, the need for a physical body, at least for the people who are very old, would not be so important. And if young people can enjoy living in the fast lane, I am sure some new experiences can be created in virtual worlds, that would match, if not replace, experiences brought by the physical body.
