The document discusses how turning 50 years old today is different than it was for previous generations. It notes that today's 50-year-olds are more active and engaged in social media, technology, and pursuits like tattoos, motorcycles, and fitness than 50-year-olds in the past. The "New 50" generation is breaking norms and redefining what it means to be 50, embracing an active lifestyle rather than settling into retirement. Examples are given of things today's 50-year-olds do that their parents' generation at 50 would not, like using Facebook, Skype, or getting divorced as examples of a more youthful approach to aging.
