Not exactly! Some of us might well live to be 100+

yeah, well... good luck with that!!

It's very very likely I'd say that many are going to reach 100 years. The average life expectancy is increasing almost by the day and in 100 years I suspect that it will be around or over 100 years for both men and women, unless a big world war breaks out.

I've actually heard that kids being born today in US will be the first generation ever that is expected to not live as long as their parents due to obesity and stuff like that.


Well I'm not obese! Hah, and I don't live in the US either

But you'll serve your kids junk food so the jokes on you!

Furthermore, I think VGChartz should add a "Like"-button.

Calendar fetishists are going to be very sad about this. I heard they're already campaigning for a 13 month year.

Exactly, if I reach the respectable age of 113, I will see 01-01-01 once more! Seeing as the oldest person ever in the history of the world was like 125, 113 seems totally doable!

Yes but that was a Woman who lived to 122! The oldest man was only 115.

Although if born today the chance of reaching 100 is 25%. 

I definately plan to live to 100+ to break all sorts of Masters Athletics records. 

Ah yes, it was a French woman. 113 is just under 115, so instead of 'totally doable' I'll lower my optimism to 'doable'. My chances decrease .

isn't the most important reason for that the decreasing childhood mortality? i believe in 1880 every fourth kid or so died before it was 5 years old and if they would have had the same rate as we have nowadays the difference wouldn't be even that big (i'm talking about germany now, not sure how many kids died in other developed countries back then)

so i think an average of 100 won't be the case in 2001 and if they talk about the average life expectancy they talk about new born so if you read that we have a life expectancy of 83 nowadays they talk about the new born babies which would be only 89 in the year 2101 so even the new born of nowadays would be above average life expectany in 2101 with "only" 89.
