One thing is certain: there is going to be far greater demand for healthcare in the US in the coming years. That's because by 2030, every Baby Boomer will be age 65 or older, which means that 1 out of every 5 U.S. citizens will be of retirement age. According to Business Insider, the average life expectancy in the US was slightly less than 70 years old in 1968 but rose to almost 79 years old in 2016. The population in 1968 was just over 200 million, but reached 323 million by 2016, putting increased pressure on Social Security and public health services. However, bright spots on the scene include increased use of telemedicine, wearable health trackers and monitors, and in-home voice assistants.
Ecuadorean weavers in the Andean mountains have been making authentic Panama hats by hand for centuries. In fact, it takes a weaver an entire day to make just one hat--and earn just five US dollars. That's not enough to keep up with the cost of living. According to Business Insider, the traditional artisan craft is now in danger of disappearing into the fog of history. In the small village of Puzhio, for example, the number of hat weavers has dropped from 124 to just 25 in the past 15 years. Many have left the country in search of more lucrative--and less tedious--work. And those who remain have little faith that future generations will carry on the tradition.
