Well, there are books, movies, TV shows, there is art and music and languages... and you haven't even touched on seriously studying different sciences up to a respectable level. I think it would benefit humanity a lot if people could have a much longer lifespan during which they can actually do things.

Think of all the time you could spend learning... also, think of all the time spent learning and experiences and eventually wisdom accumulated in even just one human being by the time they are 60, 70.... only to have it practically all lost forever once you die?

Also, wouldn't you just love to be alive only to see what the future will actually look like? it has been quite some time now since the last real paradigm-shift and real heavy impact innovation that changes our lives forever. I would love to see what is coming.
