Old generation v/s new generation

We always notice vast difference between the youngsters and their elders in form of various aspects. What seems to be right for youngsters, elders won’t always agree with it. Also, to add to the generation gap between the two, the technology has played the major role in changing mind sets.

The usage of internet to link people from different corners with the help of social media but while linking digitally some elders feel that the youngsters are not able to connect with the bond of sensitive connections. People have been noticing huge change in cultural and religious ceremonies from last few decades. Earlier people used to celebrate cultural events and gather together with their family and friends now a day also things goes that way but children are fond of enjoying western music, food and clothes even in such cultural functions. Older generation preferred to have their privacy and avoid to disclose their family relations problems or joy with the rest of the world as they even considered it to be dangerous to do so but in these days it has become a trend to disclose all our day-to-day activities with the rest of the world even through some of them on the social media might even not be knowing you personally.

knowledge on one click on their smart phones, try things which give them   adventures and trills and get their own experiences  rather than to here from their elders about their experiences and suggestions of life. It becomes difficult for the people of older generation to get adopted and used to the modern computerized world while the new generation can easily understand the latest technology in all of its aspects.

Gadgets work as our guide who feed us with knowledge and keeps us updated with today’s world.  People belonging to older generation can keep things memorised in their mind  or writing it down manually in books as they didn’t had any other option to store information which they require for their daily usage but this days the younger generation has an opportunity to store all the data in digital devices and the can access it with just one click. Children now a day’s play video games and various other computerised  games and puzzles which can sharpen their memory an also entertain them. The older generation used to play games, watch cinema and take out time from their important work for entertainment occasionally but now a day’s youngsters do all such things to obtain certain status between peers just because they do so, to pass their time as they don’t have an work to do, or as some of them might also sometimes be addicted to such things.

Older generation people had to do different types of household field work and various other physical works which used to give them earning, food as well as physical fitness and good health. Now a day’s people earn sitting and eating in front of the computer and gain weight and lose health giving rise to various dieses with unhealthy oily junk fast food then people go to loss fat and become healthy in gyms in their big cars to ride cycles in gyms.

We should have more counsellors in schools, colleges & other institutions & there should be stress on moral education. The new generation should be given opportunity to live life fully & enjoy, but not at the cost of their career, health & compromising with morale, ethics & duties.

Children of older generation used to enjoy the various knowledge, stories and experiences shared by their elders through the way of verbal communication. It was the easiest, effective and most beautiful way to stay connected with the younger generation. Youth now a day’s prefer getting information and obtaining.
