Yeah I meant people in their 40s and 50s etc. When they get very old, they start getting depressed again, either cos of their loneliness, body not working as well as it used to, or starting to worry about death etc.
Although of course IW members will never have to worry about that, I mean about getting lonely, by the time we get old we'll all be talking to 3D holographic projections of each other, proper telepresence etc.
And case in point, johnny will never have to worry about depression as long as his arm is able to lift the beer bottle to his mouth.
Besides, there're always straws and eventually intravenous injection of beer is possible
