The AGNES Suit

In case you were wondering what it feels like to be old, check out this video about the AGNES suit, designed by MIT to simulate old age and foster empathy in those who haven't yet experienced the joys of aging.  As well as encouraging empathy, for those of us fast approaching what is now considered "old" it can be pretty depressing.  On the other hand, maybe it will also encourage us to keep up exercise as long as physically possible in order to stay fit!  AGNES stands for Age Gain Now Empathy Suit.  (10 second ad must be watched before video starts.)
