Generational Gap

As the Earth revolves and changes over the years, so does civilisation. As old things fades away, new things surfaces and along the long run, we are left with the works of the past that is handed and left down for us to be bettered . The human generation downline has come a long way and really evolved with new features manifesting which differentiates each generation apart. Of course  we, the current generation, have evolved and improved into the smarter generation using most of the knowledge of the days of the old that was left behind while looking to the future in hopes that the next generation to come would also better us and pick up from where we left off but have we, the new generation, really missed anything of the old ?

The gap between this generation and any of the previous generations if we were to pick can be seen in the inventions and improved technologies that has flooded this our time. If we are to look into some aspect of these, famous topics are;

●TRANSPORTATION
Let us compare with a generation where animal power was the source of transportation on land and small boats were used to travel the Seas. People then,  use horses, Donkeys,  cows to enable mobile movements from distant places to another and even though I stated the importance of this method over our mechanised transportation now in environmental pollution , it doesn't mean this animal-powered source of transportation was effective. Now we have vehicles of all kinds ranging from the cars and buses used on land to the boats and ships used on sea and then transiting to airplanes used in the air. All these mode of transportation has their own forte, advantages and disadvantages as different types are goods, location to be delivered, quantity to be delivered, speed of delivery and many other factors determine the mode of transportation to be used.  system now has really helped and jump-start the flow of marketing and good deliveries all over the world as we can receive and send items with ease and receive within minutes and at most days that it for goods coming to us from other countries or continents.

●COMMUNICATION
It is no doubt that communication in this current generation has really peaked as we have the cellular mobile-phones and the Internet. With the help of these, we can connect and get in touch with one another without having to meet within minutes no matter how far we are from each other. Back then in comparison with some previous generations , they used only letters to communicate with each other or send a messenger to pass the message across and these processes can take days for the message to be received by the recipient from the sender. This isn't such a good thing in the case where time is of essence and information needed to be conveyed immediately, with the use of a mobile phone or a social media nowadays with the help of Internet, information can be sent across in matter of seconds across continents .

Honourable mentions also would be improvements;

○In the field of medicine as there are sophisticated devices and machines that we use in the medical sector nowadays that aid the speedy recovery of patients and also ensures maximum and efficient treatment is given

○In the field of Electricity

○In the Clothing industry and so much more

With these, it is clear that we, the current generation, are better in terms of technologies and innovation but are we better off in terms of morales and good heart also? It is no news again that this world or generation as we know it is morally inclined and conscious-less as there are many people with behaviours and traits that doesn't glorify themselves. The people of the old weren't whole saints also but in comparison, theirs were much better off ours as now we have all kinds of atrocities and misconduct like teenagers killing people for money, theft and robbery without care, scamming people of their hard earned money and so on .

Things like this in all put the gap between generations even in terms of the good deeds and bad deeds, not all of us are corupt nor bad hearted but it seems majority are bad eggs. We would thank God for all good and the bad and pray for a prosperous and beneficial generation.

Thanks for reading and Have a nice day.
