Meet MIT AgeLab's AGNES

[mashimaroa15]

Someone knows type of music in this video? I want it so bad for background music in my video :(

[Pichu0123]

I'm all for research that will help the elder population in the future :)

[nosweaterable]

@teamrocfan Living healthy, active lives is exactly why you get stiff joints when you are older... your body wears down. You'll start noticing problems in your 20s, good luck bud.

[teamrocfan]

aww poor old people... NOT

How about we healthy, active lives and not worry about stiff joints



[Alkhoren]

@teamrocfan First of all start by making a sentence that actually makes sense. And you can choose to live in the moment, but the futur is coming to get you. Whether you like it or not. So preparing now, for youself, aged people and your kids, is an intelligent and sane way of acting.

[RedGrobo]

But demographics arent shifting towards an older population... but younger.

Ps: i want to go jogging in this suite, every day! hehe

[bijoekira]

nice , but;

i'l just wait for 50 years

[MrKokeworst]

waarmaarraar

[samusRulz]

@TUHNUJUHNU It's easy enough to HEAR what being old is like. But it's much more "powerful" to actually FEEL the physical limitations of aging.

[TUHNUJUHNU]

@samusRulz true

[TheThh]

@TUHNUJUHNU idiot

[TUHNUJUHNU]

@TheThh no

[vezorro]

@pioughd87 Tuohan on hyvä treeniasu.

[vellu8888]

peukuta jos IS

[rhythm077]

Like if you came from OMG Facts!!!!

[AngryNinjaSquirrelz]

OMG Facts Brought me here.

[yeapsystar]

... Maybe some sadistic idea, but I think those suits are also QUITE useful for rapers & robbers who especially rapes & robs old people all the time ... Just put them in jail after you've caught them and let them work there in those suits in jail ... Probably they might change their ideas one day ... ;-)

[MrCooke17]

@yeapsystar idiot. they're used so people can test things while being a 75 year old. that way its safe for everyone

[yeapsystar]

@MrCooke17 I know, and I don't think the intention of it isn't bad at all, I mean, when it ONLY will need for this, it's okay to me ... Though I know there always be bad peepz using it for this silly stuff I mentioned before, so that's alsy why I said it's maybe sadistic to use it in that way ... Maybe it's not bad either to find something out which is like this when people expire - probably only for 5 minutes - what chronical pain contains, or chronical fatigue ...

[yeapsystar]

@yeapsystar only just to help others you know, and to get some idea how life is and how hard it is when people don't understand you because of some chronical disease par example ... In another way, I think that's sadistic too and people might have some ethical problems with it too ...

[spriteisgood4llamas]

What if you were older than 75?

[Keskusrikospoliisi]

@spriteisgood4llamas nothing

[AlenWeed]

TF2 10th class xD

[ilyaLiviz]

Have you not seen the 75 year old Kung Fu Masters? Solution maintain healthy and fit lifestyle not the other-way around (meaning change yourself for the world and not the world for you)..

[KiwiLovin7]

It's even named like an old person.

[Spawnnezo]

зачем ?

[BrodcastingWorldwide]

@Spawnnezo

Potamushta loodi doraki.

[batmannu]

why would they call it agnes??? ffs :(



[thesystemxdown]

@batmannu Stands for Age Gain Now Empathy System, says it in the video.

[batmannu]

@thesystemxdown lol its cool for you to say so, specially as yer real name is not AGNES :P mine is though, so pls try to understand these mixed feelings. It has always been so that AGNES is being related to OLD names. and now this oldies suit comes out with the same name, lol OF COURSE IM SHOCKED!!

[thesystemxdown]

@batmannu Hmm I see what you mean. Makes sense!

[Ranie9393]

why

[ElQuba]

I don't know about tomorrow, I feel like I am an old man already.

[eonvee375]

@hobobillibob lol ^^ 80% of japanese population just fliped u ^^

[broismeurdad]

they should have de-ess'd the audio. every time she talks it tickles my ear 

[dynapowerusa]

Very interesting concept. I'd like to be able to wear a robot suit that would somehow make me a super cop.

[TheAwesomeOne1ooo]

I think trying this suit would just make me feel a bit depressed.

[gregory06]

@MrAntennaBall which is exactly why you're not in college... you have no clue why scientists do some things, yet you reap the benefits every day.

[MrNotoriousNinja]

This is for those people that never practice sports, sit all day in their office... they will be like that. but people who DO practice sports, move enough in their life, will be top fit even at 100 years. I don't remember where i but i read about this chinese guy he ran 14 km a day. he's 100 years old

[itimiii]

@Josephjoel3 Yes thats what I been trying to tell people for years.

[CocaineStyler]

so thats what girls at the MIT do....

._.

[jcj1229]

neeeerrrrrrrrrrrrrdddsss

[ranawayz88]

i dont even want to know what happens when the 90s kids are 30.

[adam434434]

And what if you throw that stuff out, and hire old people to do the same stuff?

[SupernaturalGifts777]

It is stuff like this, that restores my hope in humanity.

[BabblingStudios]

Great concept; however, I feel this video would have been better suited if we heard about the suits and its constraints from the people wearing them. I don't think seeing someone shopping for groceries conveys anything other than weirdos shopping for groceries. I would rather have heard them grunt and complaining due to the suit.

[EmperorOfMars]

Why not just use old people?

[tankusfred]

@EmperorOfMars Because after half an hour they want a pause...

[Inifekt]

Would it be possible to try one of these suits?

[tunkowens]

This research is amazing! This will mean a lot when it comes to improve the lives of the dearest people that helped build the world which we live in, and the people that we will be one day. Thank you! You guys are amazing.
