It’s easy to take things for granted, and even easier to do so the younger we are.  In a new survey, 1,500 people aged 60+ were asked to name some things that have become more difficult as the years has gone by.

Here they are — the TOP TEN supposed-to-be-simple tasks the survey found gets harder the older people get:

  1. Picking things up off the floor
  2. Opening jars or packaging
  3. Getting up and down the stairs
  4. Household chores
  5. Getting in and out of the bathtub
  6. Standing up out of a chair
  7. Walking long distances
  8. Using modern technology
  9. Putting your shoes on, and taking them off
  10. Driving
