The young embrace technology while the old are threatened by it.
Mankind has seen the meteoric rise of technology in the last century making our lives better in countless ways.
Technology accompanies us in so many aspects that we often do not stop to think much about it at all.
This however does not mean that every age groups takes to technology with equal enthusiasm.
I agree that while the young embrace technology, the old feel threatened by it.
Health & Medicine
The young are often keen to embrace the latest technological advancements in terms of medicine.
These include medical procedures as well.
Advancements such as keyhole surgery where a small incision is made on a patient during an operation helps ensure that minimal trauma is inflicted on that area and the patient is able to recover with minimal downtime are welcomed by the young as a safer alternative to the traditional methods of surgery.
Yet in spite of this, the old are still apprehensive of such procedures.
Many of them are still trapped in the old mindset and misguided belief that surgical procedures of any sort are inherently dangerous and bring along with it a high risk of failure.
A lack of knowledge and proper access them to reliable information keeps them feeling inadequate and insecure about technology.
Appliances
Advances in the various household appliances is another area which the young eagerly gear towards.
They are often quick to see and make use of the conveniences the newer models of household equipment embody.
Kitchen appliances such as blenders and coffee-makers which use better technology during the blending process not only save on monthly household bills but help save time too.
The young are keen to invest in such appliances but the old are often skeptical and unwelcoming.
They are often slow to believe in the abilities of such appliances and fear that it may replace their positions of importance in the family.
Hence they are resistant.
