Another of your fine articles.
I still have my initial Steemit project in the back of my mind in which I want to use the retired people's time and make them curate people from the rural areas or basically anyone who would agree to learn.
Project spinoffs would be to have native English speakers monitor a specific tag in which English newbies would post shorts texts describing their day ( in Engrish - or as good as they can ) and the native English would write comments which are correct.
Anyway - staying on subject - I think that much more could be done to reduce the aging effects by educating people about the benefits. Old people are not grumpy and upset without reason, most of them would be happy to be involved in social events.

In the end my goal is to have everyone win something:

• old people health and a little revenue as they become followed once more and their advice heeded.
• young people could benefit from improved education. Be it reading skill or basic reading comprehension or correction of common writing mistakes, and I would be happy. Not all countries excel at education, in fact most don't.
• we as we could get more involved and find out more about people we would have no connection to, otherwise. Might even find someone we would like to promote or open a door to (internship, work or advice)

Sorry for babbling on the edge of the subject but I felt as you have the same views on this. I couldn't add anything else to your article even if i wanted to :P
