Look at you. You’re young, and naïve, and you think you’ll live forever. But you won’t. We all get old. Thing is, we wouldn’t know what it’s actually like to be old until we are old.
That is, unless you have an ‘age suit’ like this. Made by Ford as part of their ‘Unlearn’ campaign, it simulates what it’s like to be 70 years old. It weighs 10 kg to impede your young, spritely movement, glasses that impair your vision, gloves that limit your sense of touch, and most disturbingly a device that simulates hand tremors. Ford sent one to Mashable journalist Tim Chester, who took it for a spin around London. And as you can see from the video, it didn’t seem like much fun.
