AbstractIn the late twentieth and early twenty-first centuries, the profound changes in labour relations, social services, retirement and demographic patterns, the aging of Western populations, and the medical and cultural stretching of middle age into later life, have blurred the chronological and generational boundaries that had once set apart childhood, middle age, and old age. This paper explores some of the commercial, technological, cultural, and spatial consequences of the resulting post-industrial life course and its contradictory challenges to the aging process.Keywords: life course; post-industrial; aging; the body; technology
