text: if you could learn about anything you wanted what would it be!?   i would like a detailed knowledge of gerontology(the study of ageing). this interests me, because it`s a process that happens to us all-if we are fortunate. i think, in some societies, older people (65plus)are often marginalised and not valued as much as they should be. someone once described the older generation as  "our future selves" and that truism is for me, the bottom line.
