#countries #gap #skills #people #age #fifty #minimise
Technology is improving worldwide,in some ,places the older generations are still using the old methods,which increase the knowledge distance between them and the younger generation who keep up to date with the new
skills
 In
this
 essay I will examine how
this
 will develop misunderstanding and argument ,and how we can decrease the impact of
this
 differences. Some problems might appear in the workplace,where young
people
 work under the leadership of older
people
 who know less about technology.
For example
 , in advertisements, the old generation will prefer TV and newspaper advertising
while
 younger
people
 would like to use social media and the Internet for marketing. The less knowledge that
people
 over fifty have on social media ,the less they will be able to accept it to be part of their job. The solution to
this
 is very simple, it is the company's and governments' responsibility to teach
people
 about new technologies and keep them updated. If the older generation learns about new
skills
 they will be at the same level as their younger colleagues. Not only that but
also
 ,it will make their life easier. We need more courses and classes to help everyone to improve their
skills
 . In conclusion, differences in technological appility between young and old
people
 will impact life ,especially the workplace but with increasing knowledge by doing some courses and educating the older community about new
skills
this
 problem will decrease.
