The technology is ever-changing, there’s no doubt about it. It has now affected almost everyone in the world, regardless of the part of the world they are living in. However, it’s set to evolve further, and its next goal seems to be transforming your retirement. How? We will see below.
People live longer nowadays, and the average life expectancy has been going up from quite a long time now. However, as lives get longer, various questions emerge for the next generation of retirees, such as:
- How to find the right post-retirement career?
- How to stay in touch with your friends and family?
- How to approach the new challenges and better opportunities?
- How to still live a happier and simple life?
The answers to all these questions seem to be depending on one particular factor, technology. It’s because the next generation of retirees is going to experience technology like never before. They are expected to have second careers of their life based on fields inspired by tech-enabled services, better ways of communication to stay connected with their friends and family, hospitals with better machinery and equipment, and much more.
Working after retirement
Before a few decades, it used to be clear that you are supposed to work only till your retirement, and not after that. However, times seem to be changing and we do find many retirees working on a different and sometimes, the same job. Now although sometimes it’s because they fail to make ends meet, some even work simply because they want, and not because they have to.
However, the situation now seems to have changes drastically. A recent survey suggests that as many as around 4 in every 10 people in the US plan to work after they retire. It’s believed that it will also get a lot easier to work after retirement a few decades down the line, than it is now.
A different approach is all you may need to work after your retirement. Instead of considering your job as a permanent job, you may have to consider it as a series of different projects.
Also, with the ever-evolving technology, the retirees will have the opportunity to work from their home, a beach, or a garden.
As far as things in India are concerned, some entrepreneurs like Anand Mishra Star Infranet, are trying to make these things possible in India as well, by putting to use their digital empire, as well as offering various other resources to help retirees earn money online by working from home.
Keeping up with the social life
Applications such as Skype already make it easier for people to connect and communicate. However, things are going a step further now, with many new websites and apps coming up that allow older people to connect and rent a place to stay together.
Better health equipment
It seems that there will be many more health equipments being available by the time most of the employees in their 20s and 30s retire. Such machines will probably monitor the health better of the older people, as well as help take on some of the more chronic diseases they tend to face with age.
