                                                       ARTICLE

Explanation:

In times today we realize looking at various changing traits in life that how time flies. The things which are left behind are the experiences which life showed us and how we see the coming generations change.

Generation gap has existed for centuries because new generations get introduced to new dealings of life. For instance, in the 21 Century, this generation is fond of the internet era whereas the previous generation was fond of the television era. When it comes to communication, there was point in life when the fax machine, telegraph and telephone seemed like magic. Now such a time has come that telepathy could be possible even in the future.

We were used to playing outdoors, hide and seek, running after one another, but now children play games on tablets and apps at all times. Their hobbies and lifestyles are so much different than ours. The one thing is that, this gap and feeling is inevitable because such a time will come on them too.

We can find the generation gap since the man was born. It increased day by day. It arises because of changing attitudes of people especially youngsters. Parents don't like the fashion that teengagers are following. They were jeans, short skirts which are not at all liked by our old generation. Even if their parents scold them, they never agree on anything. They are lacking in studies and partying whole night. In order to enjoy childhood, they are addicted to wrong things like drugs, which are not at all good for them. They are becoming careless about their health and life. They argue with their parents instead of understanding them. Parents should be more strict towards their children and their behavior too. Parents wants their children to be doctors, engineer, etc. But children do not understandardised competitions.
