Technology has become a very important aspect in our life and it became an essential thing in our daily lives.

To make an older generation familiar with the new technology and internet is not an easy task because older generation needs more time than younger generation to catch up with all this craze.

For example, Smart Phones - it seems easy to us, but a novice, an older adult needs assistance to encourage and teach them how to use it.

Also, Internet, social media, and personal computer (all of those) became a very useful in our lives, and some older people are starting to use them in many ways: for medical purposes, navigation etc.

Internet is very important to everyone, even though there is older generation who have no idea about new technology and internet. Sometimes they hesitate to ask a young generation about how to use it. We should give them some course to gain basic knowledge about internet, like using Facebook, surfing the Internet, or even using chat room in a simple way because in present day nobody can function without internet and technology.

Finally, technology is here to help us in our life and make it easy and old generation should be involved and start using it.
