     What is a technological generation gap?

     How does the generation gap impact the understanding of technology?

     How the different groups of generations(baby boomers, generation x,


    millennials, etc…) perceive technology.

     How can the technological gap be bridged between generations?

     Are people from the “older” generation always wiser and correct in their ways
    of thinking and choices? Why?

     Give one important message to the next generation.


     What is a technological generation gap?

    • The technological generation gap refers


    to the proposed gap between children and
    adults (particularly parents and teachers)
    due to young people’s natural ability to
    adapt to new technologies more
    successfully than older generations.
     How does the generation gap impact the understanding of
    technology?

    • Technological acceleration may increase the fears


    of the old generation, as a result of the lack of
    expertise and technological skills available to the
    new generations. • The younger generations have a
    different outlook when it comes to
    technology
    • It can be said that modern technology has revealed
    a new type of illiteracy, which is the digital illiteracy
    that appeared among the old generations, which
    works to form a great rift and rift between members
    of society.
     How the different groups ofgenerations(baby boomers, generation x,
    millennials…)perceive technology

    • Baby Boombers It extends from the year 1946 to 1964.The members of this generation are
    characterized by the following:
    -They are good at building relationships,they respect the rights of others.
    -They do not judge the mistakes or problems of others.
    -In addition to obeying orders, and respecting the authorities as their predecessors.
    • Generation X born in the period from 1965 to 1980. Its members witnessed the
    emergence of technological development and the emergence of small
    computers.They are characterized by the following:
    -Balance between life and work.
    -A little hurry and waiting for a quick return.
    -Lack of belonging to institutions, and moving between jobs.
    • Melleinnials born between 1980 and 1994. This generation grew
    up in the shadow of the technological revolution.Its members
    are characterized by the following:
    -Their satisfaction with technology, and its good use.
    -Using the Internet to acquire and exchange information.
    -Their lack of face-to-face communication skills.
    • Generation Z those born between 1995 and 2009. They have grown up in the midst of a
    massive global openness. They are characterized by the following:
    -Searching for the truth, striving for it.
    -The desire for originality and uniqueness.
    -Open the mind and accept others
    -As well as the ability to understand difference and deal with it, and make good use of
    technological means.
     How can the technological gap be bridged between generations?

    • Three keys to bridge the technology generational gap


    -Adapt leadership styles to fuel digital growth.
    -Develop education and training programs that help the different generations grow.
    -Foster a diverse, open, collaborative culture by adopting new technologies.
    • Bridging tech-related gaps between generations
    requires improving mutual understanding between
    different age groups.
     Are people from the “older” generation always wiser and correct in
    their ways of thinking and choices? Why?

    • Not always. Yes they are more wise in terms of the fact that they’ve lived
    longer and have experienced a lot in life, but elders aren’t always right.
    They make mistakes too, and they’re from a different time, so they may not
    understand our points of view sometimes.
     Give one important message to the next generation.

    • Don’t let your smartphone, laptop, tablet, or fast wireless connections


    occupy all the time of your day, don’t bow weak to any of these
    technologies, and don’t make technology the center of life.
