Abstract

As a result of improvements in health care, and increased life expectancies, older adults represent the most rapidly growing segment of society, with estimates suggesting that by 2030, 20% of the US population will be over the age of 65 (U.S. Census Bureau (2014). An aging nation: The older population in the United States. Retrieved from https://www.census.gov/prod/2014pubs/p25-1140.pdf). Technology is one reason why we are living longer, but it is also changing the ways that we age. While older adults may represent an increased portion of our population, sociologists of sport have taken little interest in their sport, exercise, and health experiences. This paper explores what the future of aging bio-Others (Rail, G. (2015). The wellbeing imperative: On bio-Others, rescue missions and social justice. Paper presented at the meeting of the International Sociology of Sport Association, Paris, France) could look like. Will technology aid in independence and capacity? Or will it increase surveillance of bio-Others who are deemed dependent? With increasing concerns about the “burden” of older adults on the health care system, the medical community is increasingly turning to technology to address the issues of caring for older adults. How can wearable devices, robots, and self-driving cars change the ways that we monitor, and control the experience of aging?

面对科技的衰老:对生物他人的监视

由于医疗保健的改善和预期寿命的延长，老年人是社会中增长最快的一部分，据估计，到2030年，20%的美国人口将超过65岁(美国人口普查局(2014年))。老龄化国家:美国的老年人口。检索自https://www.census.gov/prod/2014pubs/p25-1140.pdf)。科技是我们寿命延长的原因之一，但它也在改变我们变老的方式。虽然老年人在我们的人口中所占的比例越来越大，但体育社会学家对他们的运动、锻炼和健康经历几乎没有兴趣。本文探讨了老龄化生物的未来(Rail, G.(2015))。福祉的必要性:关于生物他人，救援任务和社会正义。在国际体育社会学协会(巴黎，法国)会议上发表的论文可能看起来像。技术会帮助提高独立性和能力吗?或者它会增加对那些被认为依赖他人的生物的监视?随着人们越来越关注老年人对医疗保健系统的“负担”，医学界越来越多地转向技术来解决照顾老年人的问题。可穿戴设备、机器人和自动驾驶汽车如何改变我们监测和控制衰老的方式?
