But which problems do you think really need solving and that our TED community or the wider, you know, scientific and innovative community should be looking closer at?
And I just want to build on that because I don't think we solve enough or think about enough this demographic destiny that we're headed for all over the world.
In Japan, obviously, we have depopulation.
China is going to depopulate eventually one day, but they have a demographic problem that
in terms of their workforce, because people are getting older.
In America, boomers still run everything, even though they're in their late 70s and 80s.
And I think, A, there's two worries.
One is that we have a caregiving crisis, just a care crisis for the very young and the very old.
It's very expensive to take care of our aging parents or U.S.
senators.
And then on the flip side, we have a lot of conversations about kids and screen time and monitoring kids' screen time or putting limits on kids' screen time, but not enough conversations about old people and screen time.
So true.
My dad is starting to send me some AI slop, and I'm very concerned about it because it's sort of reminiscent of U.S.
President Donald Trump.
And the AI slop that he puts out to the world via his social platforms.
And so this is really happening to a lot of senior citizens.
But is anybody doing anything about it?
Because all the books are about kids and screen time.
