"maximum life span [wikipedia.org] has really not changed at all"

you're right, as long 2500 years ago many people lived (if not injured or had disease) until age of 70 or more.. as an example look at the great Socrates.

so in reality, many people lived log life, long ago. It's just that recently medicine enabled more people to live long life.

>> We all remember what Steve Jobs was saying that Apple had "no plans at the current time to make a tablet." We are now 9 years in the future so it is hardly "the current time"

Well, it turns out that, this is not entirely true. Steve Jobs said in a more recent AllThingsD interview that, quote "[they] started out [iphone] as a tablet, then realized that that [multi touch interface] would be great for a phone. Considering Jobs showed off iPhone-1 on January 9, 2007, and must have been in the planning/working for at least 2-3 years, clearly there was some work/planning/whatever going on about a tablet at Apple at the time of Jobs TFA interview.
