No one could deny that people in 20’Th century experienced a drastic reform, ranging from economy to regimes. In this sense, it will be natural that the generation has its own distinct characteristic and importance. Also, the generation, which means parents generation, have a lot of differences with my generation. To narrow it down, I believe technological developments and shift in world structures are the biggest differences.
My generation is in the boom years of technological improvements. Even though parent’s generation also went through the development, when compared to current era, it is incomparable. Situations which seem to happen only in a science-fiction are happening! People could easily communicate with one another through the Internet regardless of distance. Roberts are now ubiquitous in lot of factories and even, simple Roberts are customized for people. Moreover, thanks to improvement of medical technologies, people could efficiently get their diseases cured and live longer lives. There will be other numerous developments of technologies. In fact, it is impossible to name it all. Therefore, improvements of technology could be the biggest distinction.
In addition, my generation is experiencing a great shift as to world structures. In other words, the world is being closer and closer, creating single community. With the help of telecommunication and transportation developments, the countries are increasingly communicating with one another. Many international organizations such as United Nations, world trade organization have emerged. Also, countries are making free trade agreement. Into narrower parts, people could easily face exotic cultures. By turning on the T.V or surfing the Internet, people could gain tremendous amounts of information on other countries. In my opinion, those changes were not seen in the parents generation.
In conclusion, I think the most prominent distinctions between parent’s generation and my generation are technological improvements and changes in world structures. As matter of fact, people could say the one is better than the other since each one has its own importance. |
