I'm 60 and enjoying every minute of it! Like you, I am a sponge. Reading reading reading. Never ending curiosity about the world. During one of my many bouts of depression I had to realization that the number one reason I wanted to stick around was to LEARN!
I have mildly embraced Tech where it improves my life. The app on my smartphone that I valued the most is notes. I have ADHD and I have learned how to write everything down in notes and it has been a game changer!
It IS a great time to be alive; between advances in medical technology and information technology (to say nothing of the advances in things like flat-panel TV's and LEDs or the like) our aging populations are far better off than in previous decades. Yet it's also a time for far more anxiety and affordability. We need to not forget about the goals in life, which is essentially the human experience—finding happiness, creativity, and forming meaningful human relationships. The Zoomers and Gen Alpha should keep that in mind as they grow up.
Regarding your lost online articles, I suppose you've tried 'wayback machine'. I can't make much sense of it myself, I must admit, but I have heard responsible journalists refer to their using it.
I'm 37 & live with my aging parents, I must admit I didn't know about how the lenses in our eyes can change & affect how we see colours(makes sense though), that definitely explains a few things. Thank you for sharing your perspective Lloyd.

it doesn't work if you don't have the exact URL, most of which have been lost.
