Google's Mountain View campus has organized a non-profit organization, Wish of A Lifetime, that grants wishes for senior citizens'. Olive Horrell is a 97 year old woman who's one wish was to see the future. Olive grew up in a time where computers were just coming out and she's too old now to understand most of the technology that we have now. Google introduced her to a lot of different types of technology that we have today, such as a self-driving car. They constructed a virtual-reality headset that resembles and old View-Master toy. Once she put on the headset, she was in awe at what she saw. She felt like she could touch the scene. 

I think that this is important because technology is the future. People my age know how to use laptops, phones, video games. If we don't know how it works, we can figure it out in a matter of seconds. People my parent's age, they know how to work a computer and a phone but still need help every once in a while. People my grandparent's age and older, they don't know how to work technology that well because they didn't grow up with it at all. In twenty or so years, we will have newer types of technology. It really is amazing at how well the technology keeps advancing.
