NASSAU COUNTY, N.Y. (PIX11) -- They say that with age comes wisdom. At almost 110 years old, that is a lot of wisdom.

Nassau County resident Vincenza Benedetto is about to celebrate her 110th birthday.

Born in 1914, Benedetto has lived through World War I and World War II. She has seen horse-drawn carriages, buggies and electric cars. She's also seen advancements from inkwells and fountain pens to laptops and smartphones.

Happy birthday, Vincenza, from PIX11 News.
