Leaning does not only imply facts, but continual and fluid evolution of the brain. This is the identical process that the brain takes when improving itself and reducing aging. If the brain continues to receive stimuli and appropriate chemicals for energy, then it follows tat there will be increased brain function and activity. If the voltage, just as in a battery, becomes stronger, then activity increases. As the brain is continually stimulated, more building materials are produced that allow information to become part of our experience. Interestingly, the variety and frequency of certain exercise programs, in fact, "teach" the body at different rates. Using different intensities of movement, concerns of overeating, weight regulation, quality of life, and especially depression are mitigated (Douglas, 2009).

Finally, the healthcare and other market modifiers will need to change and evolve as the population ages. The global baby bust will change financial markets, investing, products, services, the workforce, types of jobs (healthcare, etc.) as well as the quality and quantity of goods that need to be moved from one country to another. When older people sell their assets, or focus their savings into different areas, global capital and investment markets change. Too, now that many consumer good markets are global, changes in demographics will have a large impact upon decisions to build, upgrade, and service those markets (Fast food, Wal-Mart, etc.). The aging population will also change consumerism, and a translation to different healthcare needs and expectations of all stakeholders (Christianson, et.al., 2008; Does Population Aging, 2012).
