Human Generation, Technology and Social Media

 

Now-a-days most of the people are browsing social media. Depending on the generation, people are changing their lifestyles and getting addicted to the social media. Technology is developing very fast based on the generation. People are using technology to develop different social media websites. But, earlier there is no technology and no social media, these generation people are socializing their life’s. We apply technology in almost everything we do in our daily lives; we use technology at work, we use technology for communication, transportation, learning, manufacturing, securing data, scaling businesses and so much more.  Technology is human knowledge which involves tools, materials, and systems. The application of technology typically results in products. If technology is well applied, it benefits humans, but the opposite is true, if used for malicious reasons.

A generation is "all of the people born and living at about the same time, regarded collectively." It can also be described as, "the average period, generally considered to be about 20–⁠30 years. While all generations have similarities, there are differences among them as well.

People got habituated to use the technology and addicted to social media and they are failing to love relations, make friendships etc. all are becoming online like online dating, online friends, online payments, etc. Now-a-days technology is using humans. Technology is replacing human, for example – robots serving customers at hotels etc. In some cases, technology might useful to make the things easy but not in all the cases.

In the olden days, without technology and social media they were happy with good employment, healthy relationships, no fast cultures, values, etc. There is lot of difference when we compare the present generation with the past generations. In the olden days, children use to play different games, they gained physical fitness with healthy foods. But in the present generation, the children started playing with mobiles. Now-a-days, it is getting hard to find the hygiene and healthy food because with the growth of technology, all the materials are getting hybrid and fake, like cheating farmers with fake seeds, hybrid fruits, etc.

These generation people are following fashion and trendy stuff to show off themselves but earlier it was not like that, they use to follow traditions, cultures, etc. Present generation people are mis-using the technology. What is ‘right’ and ‘wrong’ changes from generation to generation.

A generation gap is a difference of opinions between one generation and another regarding beliefs, politics, or values. In today's usage, generation gap often refers to a perceived gap between younger people and their parents or grandparents. There are several ways to make distinctions between generations. For example, names are given to major groups (Silent Generation, Baby boomers, Generation X, Generation Y, Generation Z, and Generation Alpha) and each generation sets its own trends and has its own cultural impact.

Technology and social media might be very useful to human, but it should not be used in the wrong way. Generations might change but values, importance’s, etc must have stability.
