While it is true that the world in which we live is technology driven, we can not force our older community to get on board. Instead, we may try offering our older generation a different solution. Or even better, meeting them halfway. As an educator, it behooves me when I see children who can not write a letter.
It is an old saying that each generation gets weaker and wiser. Truer words have never been spoken. Our young children sit in front of computers and chat with their pals halfway across the world. However, those same children don't know how to format a letter to that same friend. These same young children are playing video games instead of getting fresh air and sunshine.
It is safe to say that perhaps the older generation has something to teach us great users of technology. For example, my mother can sit and have coffee and talk face to face with her best friend; and they never once reach for a computer or a cell phone. Notice, I said that they talk not text. While my 10 year old daughter feels as though her world is going to end if she can not stay on the computer for more than her allowed time.
I think technology is a wonderful thing. I own a smart phone and two laptops. However, I am not sure I want to exist in a world where technology is replacing people skills. Maybe we should just go a little easier on the older generation. After all, they seem to be our main link to our past.
