Oblivious in context
Old age can sometimes lead to a decline in cognitive function, including memory, attention, and perception. This can make individuals more oblivious of their surroundings, leading to accidents or other safety concerns. For example, an elderly person may forget to lock the door, leave the stove on, or fail to notice a pothole in the road. Additionally, age-related changes in vision and hearing can also contribute to a decreased awareness of the environment, making it difficult to detect potential hazards.
