Is the gap really wide???
Okay so before you penetrate into further levels of what
this article is really meant for…let me simplify your job by briefing down the
central concept (I always love the ones given at the back of novels!! They have
saved my time a lot! ;))
Just imagine a situation!
Grandfather and son conversation:
Son: Hi gp!!
GP: Hi dude! Anyways just pass on my lappy ,I wanna chck out
mah fb account!
Sounds strange…eh?!
Well it should because this is not in slightest resemblance of any grandparent’s behavior we
have seen in the society recently up….but just work a little on the dynamics of
the society and try to shift it to about
50 years ahead when most of us would take up the latter’s role!!
Yeah!! Just imagine what kind of senior society would we
people build in? One full of fb, twitter and other social networking sites (as
is evident from our current situation) or will we really become mature enough
to shed off these worldly allures? (Sarcasm)
Generation gap is a very common term and exists in all
subsequent generations but the question is : Does the generation gap which
currently exists really incredibly wide
enough to be debated several times , in several forms, at different levels
around the world ?
Generation gap mainly exists due to split in opinions and
viewpoints! And these are greatly affected by
the number and domain of platforms we have for exchange of views which
have hyperbole exponentially in our generation…we are the ones who have
witnessed technological advancement from “pager” to
“WhatsApp”! These advancements have drastically changed our lifestyles!
So most of us are people who don’t really wish to start the day early with a
prayer but end it as late as possible with a varied genre of songs plugged into
ears! (my current situation).We are the ones who are flexible enough to
incorporate or absorb ideas across the world to develop a more general
viewpoint! Well these traits are in sharp contrast to the kind of traits
currently seen in “senior citizens”!
The current daily usage of internet has become an
indispensable part of a life…we are as consistent with it as earlier people
were for daily newspaper, so these things definitely not gonna vanish from our
lives at any point of our life! So how would it be? Well,the discussion is
purely fictitious for it lacks time and scientific frame reference…..
We don’t know…..anything can happen…something more
interesting can take over us….or might be our internal spirituality rise up and
we will shed all these….or might be till that time we may get too fed up to
continue using it(rare :P)…lets see,…
Left for your imagination now…what kind of grandparent would
you become ? ;) :P
Thanks!
