  2. I think it's a very good coverage about new opportunities for elder people provide by the younger ones. In this way, someone who is retired can learn something helpful about recent technologies. On the other hand, teenagers and twenty-something entrepreneurs have a chance to get a business and they also learn from seniors, their experiences and their stories. This relationship turns into a mutual benefit, I guess.Good news from Denver!
