Perception towards Generation Differences: Old Generation and New Generation

"Change is one of  the ever constant thing in this world, change in belief, change in perspectives, change in the way of living and change in everything."

Before I start describing my perceptions about the two generation, I should first give my a clear definition as to what do we really mean when we say "GENERATION"?

GENERATION

- it refers to the group of individual who are present in a specific period of time. Generation in this sense of birth cohort, also known as a "social generation", is widely used in popular culture, and has been the basis for societal analysis. Serious analysis of generations began in the nineteenth century, emerging from an increasing awareness of the possibility of permanent social change and the idea of youthful rebellion against the established social order. Some analysts believe that a generation is one of the fundamental social categories in a society, while others view its importance as being overshadowed by other factors such as class, gender, race, education, and so on.

So, let's now have my perception about old and the new generation.

OLD GENERATION

We can consider a person belonging to the older generation if an individual was born on the past 30 years from our birth or an individual who belongs to the Veterans Generation, and Baby Boomers Generation. Most of the persons belonging to the older generation seems to be unfamiliar with the latest gadgets and newest technological advancement and breakthroughs happening in the society. Most of them are used to live in a very simple life following the natural essence of living and all of their works are not so influenced by this so called "TECHNOLOGY". Most of them are the ones who keep on advising their children to be like them on who they are way back on their times. They are used to do things that relies to their abilities and not on the technology. They are people who live in the older norms, standards and mores.

NEW GENERATION

The generation where the bloom of technology was very evident, through the highly-sophisticated gadgets and applications starting from mobile cellphones, telephones, to the computer, television, to the laptops, iPod, iPad going to the summit of the formation of the Wireless Fidelity System. An individual is considered as a product of new generation when, they belong to the individuals ranging from Generation Y to the present Generation Z, or individuals belonging to the Millenials. People in this generation are granted with a more comfortable and efficient living through the use of machineries that are product of technology. They are individuals who wants to do things that are related to the use of technology. An example would be in an academic setting, the present students are interested in subjects when it involves the use of technology or they could be able to engage in an activity involving the things that captures the students' interests. In paradox, individuals belonging to this generation are so dependent on technology therefore making them very lazy in such manner that they want everything to be "INSTANT".
