    The U.S. is a youth culture. We associate social networking with youth, with college students creating these tools. They don’t have the need for it, they don’t yet have the experience of older people. Today’s generation of younger people doesn’t live close to its grandparents. No one is building apps for seniors. We’ve been building them for 12 years at Intel. Look at the number of seniors and disposable income. We don’t like to think about getting old. It’s changed a bit in the last couple of years with baby boomers. There were no conferences on technology in aging 12 years ago. Now there are more conferences, but in the U.S. it’s still academic, it hasn’t crossed over to VCs.
