Elderly: Too Old to Do Stuff?

My search turned up several images that reflect the "typical" elderly person. Interestly, the elderly are almost always smiling pleasantly. The elderly in these pictures are typically enfeebled in some where, usually in a wheelchair. They are found just sitting around usually or being helped out by some young whippersnapper. There are few pictures of them working or partaking in any activity (though I did find one of water aeorobics). The images seem to reflect the idea that many think the elderly are weak, need our protection, and should just sit there and be good.
