It is no secret that
technology
 has been used by many companies and organizations in today’s business
environment
. Conventional thinking assumes that old people have trouble finding jobs because of new technologies. I believe that they have no problem adapting
this
 trend. Admittedly, most of young people are familiar with
latest technologies
Suggestion
the latest technologies
, which gives employers a false impression that they are
also
 good at
technology
 in the
workplace
. Apparently, as adaptability is a necessary quality in an ever-changing work
environment
 and most of young people can adapt to new
technology
 fairly quickly, employers might blindly believe that they could outperform older workers when it comes to
technology
.
However
, that notion is nothing more than a stereotype. Adaptability and an ability to cope with more and more use of
technology
 in the
workplace
 is one of the most important
quality
Suggestion
qualities
 that employers are looking for, which is not exclusive to younger generations. In fact, older people might be more capable of adapting to new technologies when compelled to do so
since
Suggestion
for
 their families depend on them.
As a result
, they have strong motivation to get used to new technologies and working
environment
. Of course, other than the reason discussed above, I'd like to clear up the common misconception that older workers don't know how to use
technology
. In the
workplace
, technologies are more productivity focused, which is not appealing to
youngster
Suggestion
youngsters
the youngster
. With extensive working experience and willingness to learn, older applicant could have the edge over others.
Also
, it is highly unlikely that young people have more experience than older people. In conclusion, in terms of
technology
 in the
workplace
,
although
 millennials could have the upper hand, it does not necessarily mean that older people do not stand a chance. If a person is willing to learn and adapt to
new
Suggestion
a new environment
the new environment

, there is always a chance.
