Ha Ha! A question for the ages. That would suck to need to get a new roof when you are 98 years old. I'd save the $1,200 and go hunting. Actually, screw the roof! Get a reverse mortgage and do a lot of hunting

It's your attitude not your age! It's gonna cost ya a lot more than $1,200 to have it redone in 2047!
Don't listen to me, listen to a smart guy!
Kurzweil is one of the biggest believers in The Singularity, the moment when humans ? with the aid of technology ?will supposedly live forever.
He's chosen the year 2045 because, according to his calculations, "The nonbiological intelligence created in that year will reach a level that's a billion times more powerful than all human intelligence today."
But even before 2045, Kurzweil thinks we could begin the deathless process.
"I believe we will reach a point around 2029 when medical technologies will add one additional year every year to your life expectancy," he told Playboy. "By that I don't mean life expectancy based on your birthdate, but rather your remaining life expectancy."
A lot will have to happen in the next 30 years to make that a reality, but Kurzweil isn't fazed: He predicts that nano machines capable of taking over for our immune system (to fix problems like cancerous cells and clogged arteries) and connecting our brains to the cloud will be available by then.
He likens that change as the next step in our evolution, the same way our ancestors developed to use the frontal cortex 2 million years ago. The benefits, according to Kurzweil, will be significant.
"We'll create more profound forms of communication than we're familiar with today, more profound music and funnier jokes," he tells Playboy. "We'll be funnier. We'll be sexier. We'll be more adept at expressing loving sentiments."
Kurzweil points to two advancements that've already happened to support his futuristic claims. The first is the rate of technological advancement: His current Android phone is several orders of magnitude smaller, more powerful, and less expensive than the $11 million computer he used at MIT in the mid 1960's. Technology will only continue to get smaller, more powerful, and less expensive over time.
The second is work being done at Joslin Diabetes Center in Connecticut, which has used biotechnology to turn off the fat insulin receptor gene in animals, allowing them to eat large quantities of food without developing diabetes or gaining weight. By hacking the human body we can ditch millennia-old genes that serve no purpose and increase our lifespan significantly.
SO WHO IS THIS KURZWELL CRACK POT?
Awards and honors[edit]
First place in the 1965 International Science Fair[17] for inventing the classical music synthesizing computer.
The 1978 Grace Murray Hopper Award from the Association for Computing Machinery. The award is given annually to one "outstanding young computer professional" and is accompanied by a $35,000 prize.[79] Kurzweil won it for his invention of the Kurzweil Reading Machine.[80]
In 1986, Kurzweil was named Honorary Chairman for Innovation of the White House Conference on Small Business by President Reagan.
In 1988, Kurzweil was named Inventor of the Year by MIT and the Boston Museum of Science.[81]
In 1990, Kurzweil was voted Engineer of the Year by the over one million readers of Design News Magazine and received their third annual Technology Achievement Award.[81][82]
The 1994 Dickson Prize in Science. One is awarded every year by Carnegie Mellon University to individuals who have "notably advanced the field of science." Both a medal and a $50,000 prize are presented to winners.[83]
The 1998 "Inventor of the Year" award from the Massachusetts Institute of Technology.[84]
The 1999 National Medal of Technology.[85] This is the highest award the President of the United States can bestow upon individuals and groups for pioneering new technologies, and the President dispenses the award at his discretion.[86] Bill Clinton presented Kurzweil with the National Medal of Technology during a White House ceremony in recognition of Kurzweil's development of computer-based technologies to help the disabled.
The 2000 Telluride Tech Festival Award of Technology.[87] Two other individuals also received the same honor that year. The award is presented yearly to people who "exemplify the life, times and standard of contribution of Tesla, Westinghouse and Nunn."
The 2001 Lemelson-MIT Prize for a lifetime of developing technologies to help the disabled and to enrich the arts.[88] Only one is awarded each year ? it is given to highly successful, mid-career inventors. A $500,000 award accompanies the prize.[89]
Kurzweil was inducted into the National Inventors Hall of Fame in 2002 for inventing the Kurzweil Reading Machine.[90] The organization "honors the women and men responsible for the great technological advances that make human, social and economic progress possible."[91] Fifteen other people were inducted into the Hall of Fame the same year.[92]
The Arthur C. Clarke Lifetime Achievement Award on April 20, 2009 for lifetime achievement as an inventor and futurist in computer-based technologies.[93]
In 2011, Kurzweil was named a Senior Fellow of the Design Futures Council.[94]
In 2013, Kurzweil was honored as a Silicon Valley Visionary Award winner on June 26 by SVForum.[95]
In 2014, Kurzweil was honored with the American Visionary Art Museum?s Grand Visionary Award on January 30.[96][97][98]
Kurzweil has received 20 honorary doctorates in science, engineering, music and humane letters from Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute, Hofstra University and other leading colleges and universities, as well as honors from three U.S. presidents ? Clinton, Reagan and Johnson.[5][99]
Kurzweil has received seven national and international film awards including the CINE Golden Eagle Award and the Gold Medal for Science Education from the International Film and TV Festival of New York.[81]
