Although the Russian app has bee known for its privacy issues, the more interesting lesson of our FaceApp fling (盡情玩樂(lè))is what it tells us about our society—and our future lives. It turns out we are more interested in aging than we realized. I39。m surprised by this. Most younger people are in denial (否認(rèn))about old age, doing almost nothing to prepare for it. We rarely have a chance to plan for the future, with increasing time and financial pressures. Those pressures bring sacrifices that we may not always want to make: we can no longer afford to spend the time or the money needed to look after our elderly parents. As a family doctor, I can see the loneliness epidemic developing. Elderly patients e to see me with no particular illness, no clear medical issue. After a few minutes of the consultation, I understand why: they39。re not sick, and often they don39。t feel sick. They just need someone—anyoneto talk to. Although loneliness has no medical classification, the health effects are real: the result of loneliness and isolation can be as harmful to our health as smoking 15 cigarettes a day, and is more damaging than obesity. But loneliness does not e with nearly enough health warnings. So what next? Since 1980, we are living on average 10 years longer. At the same time, people are having fewer and fewer children, and they are having them much later in life. The snake of a world class health service is eating its own tail。 its care is prolonging (延長(zhǎng)) people39。s lives, but as the ratio of pensioners(退休人員)to working age people increases, there are fewer taxpayers to fund that very health service. Into this void have stepped NGOs, charities and volunteers. But in the long term, the only way to truly help the oldest meters of our society is to go back to the traditional values of intergenerational(兩代間的) cooperation—often under same roof. Ultimately, we will need to evolve towards a culture where elderly care is treated the same as childcare, where employers recognize the duty of someone with an elderly parent the same way they recognize those of someone with a newborn child.（1）The example of FaceApp is used to _____.
