It is believed across nations that the young and old generations are drifting apart in terms of technical skills. I believe
this
 raises a major problem for young ones to connect with their parents and grandparents which can be mitigated with both the generation making an effort towards each other. As the world advances towards new and fast-growing technology, younger people are expected to adapt and pick up technical skills faster, creating distance between them and their elders. Over a period of

this
 difference in understanding and capabilities becomes very evident and it leads to detachment.
For example
, the young generation adapts very quickly to the

On the other hand
, the elderly

 are not able to spend quality

 with each other.
For instance
, a mother who is constantly trying to learn new apps and games so she can spend more
time
 with her kids will find it exhausting and ultimately affecting her physical health. The most efficient and effective way to handle
such
 issues is by making an effort and communicating with each other. Every elderly should have an open and honest conversation with their younger folks as it creates a deep connection and understanding.
On the contrary
, young people should be more patient and understanding with their elders. In conclusion, genuine conversation and a little effort can go a long way and help reduce the problems faced
due to
 the increasing gap in technical skills and understanding.
