I might feel out of place in a world with automated cars and a fully solar powered society when I still remember what it's like to be alive without a computer in the home. And then the first computer in the home having a B: Floppy. And if I told people I knew this, and was X years old, I wouldn't be working in a mental health hospital anymore, but I'd still be there. :)David P.

But I could definitely see you becoming a great philanthropist over the ages and making a difference. You would do a lot of good.<br /><br />My favorite Q line from Star Trek NG is when he said, "I don't work well in groups.

That's when I was fascinated by the subject. But I realized that eventually I'll want to die. Not to be morbid, but because at some point, I'll be done. Why do we live? In the end, I think it's to gain experiences--with people, with ideas, with situations. At some point the lessons are exhausted.Liz A.https://www.blogger.com/profile/16531953467834426316noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2495499100279472520.post-84646334227478936502015-03-16T19:33:21.782-06:002015-03-16T19:33:21.782-06:00Oh yeah, I'd like eternal youth.

But I'd find a way to live comfortably, and learn all the things I want to learn. Perhaps I would get bored after 10k years, but I'd like to take the risk :)dolorahhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08715849844092553699noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2495499100279472520.post-15536596069532589282015-03-16T16:51:55.951-06:002015-03-16T16:51:55.951-06:00It probably would start to suck after a couple cen...It probably would start to suck after a couple centuries.PT Dillowayhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09394481476862013009noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2495499100279472520.post-45535958429230810792015-03-16T15:53:17.904-06:002015-03-16T15:53:17.904-06:00Really interesting questions...I just wish I could...Really interesting questions...I just wish I could answer them.

What good is never growing old if my loved ones all grew old and died beside me? It would be horrendous. I do love the premise of the movie though (I'd actually not heard about it until now!) and I'm a Blake Lively fan.
