My grandmother lived 94 years, and her mind was as sharp as a tack until the end. She didn't have more than a high school education, but she read books every day of her life. Even after she started to go blind, she was able to use digital books and audio books to keep up the habit until the last few weeks of her life when she was too ill.
Reading keeps your mind active, engaged, and always learning, no matter how old you get. Watching TV and clicking on endless links and videos are, for your brain, like sugar and soda for your teeth.
