Questions 16 to 18 are based on the following passage. Talking about differences between old and new generation, it will be helpful to identify two distinct sources of difference. These are the difference due to the difference in age, and the difference in the culture and environment. The older generation has lived longer and has more experience. They have enjoyed and got bored with many things that younger generation is still busy enjoying. There is also difference in the responsibilities they have. Middle-aged people not only have to manage their career, they may also have to look after their children and parents. In comparison their children still completing their education have only their study to bother about. They haven't had the chance to find out how much better their parents and teachers are than their bosses. The nature of such differences has remained the same over the ages. The difference from the second source shows a much greater variability as we compare them down the ages. When the pace to technology was slow, the ways of living did not change much from generation to generation. But today with the very high rate of growth of technology, the cultures and living styles across the world are changing very fast. Thus today there are many more differences between generations. The new generation today has much wider knowledge due to greater exposure to a wide range of information through TV and the Internet. However, they lack depth in their knowledge and understanding. Also, the younger generation is more technology savvy because being young they learn to use new technology faster. There are also many psychological and sociological changes taking place among the younger generation. They seem to have less concern for the long-term view, and seem to care less about long and lasting relationships. Also they seem to care more about the external looks and less about stuff below the surface. This is true for their choice of things as well as of people.
