One of my suggestions was making sure that we keep up with technology.
What are some good sites for people, who may not be deeply into tech anymore, to keep up with what is going on?

That is a good idea, but tech is a moving target. It will be difficult to keep track of it regularly.
What I would do, if I was in your place, is stop worrying about tech and instead think of what maximum places on this planet I could visit and start preparing for that. If you are in a western country, then I would urge you to visit those places that usually get bad press in the west, like countries in Asia, south America, middle-east, culturally vibrant countries like China and Iran, and countries in the Eurasian region. Just my 2cents :)
And tangentially since you are mentioning old age, I think cognitive decline is a bigger worry than finding the right resources to keep up with things.
It has been painful to see my Grandfather who can otherwise show great insight on topics he is familiar with, struggle with understanding things a 5 year old would breeze through today. I would say having a respectful and trusting relationship with someone from the younger generation is very important since you may reach a point where you by yourself may not be able to keep up with things.
I now make a conscious effort to check every so often that I'm not always using fast thinking and do actually apply real focus to questions.
Definitely having younger people around really helps. And there will come a point where I simply just don't want to learn something new - this won't be from laziness - it will just be that it's very difficult.
