Exploding Aging Stereotypes
Go60.Com is a no-nonsense, yet caring and compassionate internet destination devoted to helping seniors improve with age. Go60.Com is not about imitating youth or dazzling you with an eyepopping, animated website. Go60.Com is about aging well, and aging wisely and successfully. You'll find timely, leading edge information about research on aging, and how society is adjusting,  or not adjusting, to the explosion of an aging population which is largely being ignored in a youth-obsessed culture. This dramatic trend is beginning to reach deeply into ill-prepared government, business and private organizations large and small.
As baby boomers inflate the senior population, leadership and wisdom will be required to adjust to an escalating societal, cultural, economic and medical Armageddon.

Ageism is inherently damaging to a burgeoning segment of citizens, and its eradication is overdue. Will the Baby Boomers stamp it out?

Age discrimination finds its loudest expression in the work place. New attitudes toward work later in life are just barely beginning to emerge [Take a look at Productive Aging].
