What is the average life expectancy?
Simple question, I guess. My friend says it's 70 but I heard it was like 75 or 80. Does anyone know what the average life expectancy is right now? We're in the United States so that might be a factor, right?

The best place to find this kind of information is the CIA's World Fact Book ( [Link](Mouse over link to see full location) ). It provides you up-to-date information on most (if not all) of the countries in the world.
For example, according to the 2009 estimation, the USA's life expectancy is:
male: 75.65 years
female: 80.69 years
average is 78.11 years, rank 50th in the world.

If you want to see life expectancy of other countries, then go to: [Link](Mouse over link to see full location)
Click on the name of the country, then go down to the "People" bar, and find the "Life Expectancy" section. You can even download the data.
With this, you will be able to assure yourself that your information is fairly accurate. And if your friend doubt you, you can say that "hey, I've gotten this info from CIA (Central Intelligent Agency)."
Hope this helps,

The average life span for a man is 75 years. The average life span for a woman is 80 years. Men's average has increased in the past 5 years, before they did new studies in 2004, the average life span for a man was 8 years less than a woman, instead of just 5 like it is today.
