For those flutherites out there who have had the privilege to live a long and full life, does the world look different through your eyes?

Now this is a question I am asking for those 60 or older. The reason I ask, is because I was thinking, when I was younger the world looked, and smelled different. There was just something about it that was different then the way I see and hear and smell things today. (I am 27) Maybe it was just growing up and learning different things as you go on in life, that changed it. I was really interested to see, if ones perception of life changes again, when you get in to the golden years of ones life. Do you see things, hear things, smell things differently, than you remembered when you were in your 20s, 40s or even go way back to when you were just a toddler.

Does any of that make sense?
