Generation Gap

What is a generation gap?

I describe the generation gap as what occurs between people whose ages are much different from each other. For instance, elderly people usually have difficulty in understanding what teenagers or their grandchildren are talking about. The opposite is true, of course, that is young generation has no idea about how wars looked like or what their grandparents were eating when they were children. Thus, a generation gap happens in most cases.

Have you ever felt a generation gap with your friends?

I'm not surrounded by people who are much younger or much older so it is difficult to come up with any experiences right away. I'm generally doing well with my friends.

When do you feel a generation gap the most?

Whenever I talked to my grandparents who already passed away, I always felt a generation gap. There were clear differences about recognitions of new things between us and them so when I and my sister used to talk about new toys or computer games they looked confused and seemed to have no idea about what we were talking about at all. On the other hands, I also began to feel a generation gap between young kids because I became older enough to understand how they feel with younger people.
