Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

In 2030, it is more likely that people will live longer and have access to higher education, making it more probable that Biff will be a post-secondary graduate. Nursing homes are becoming less common as people are able to age in place with the help of technology and home care services. While it is possible that Biff may be the oldest person in his community, it is not a given and therefore not a likely indicator of his status as an 80-year-old in 2030. It is also possible for individuals to maintain good health as they age through healthy living and medical advancements.
