Preferences of the Technology Generation

            We cannot deny that there is really a difference between older and younger generations when it comes to their preferences. Like for example, our leisure, work, clothing, foods, and many more. Old generation has availed of slow and single-track pattern of activities. They do things slowly not like the younger who are so very hyper-active. Oldies patronizes old movies, TV shows, and music. While young people focuses on the new one. Oldies are not exposed to the digital world unlike the young individuals.

            As to the experience in the case of discord between the practices of the previous generations and the present generations, it was when my previous teachers taught us to research in the library using those books arranged in the shelves, but our present teachers now would just ask us to research in the internet and then the informations we’re looking for would instantly come out. Not like the old days, students are being equipped in reading the book, word by word.

            We may vary in many things but we are all born equal. We are molded differently, we have uncommon preferences but it doesn’t mean we’ll stop there, we also need to explore and learn things we don’t like that might help us to become productive. We may also go back to our old style of learning things.

            As to the application, we future teachers should manifest to our future students the importance of the older generation’s way of acquiring things. But, we also need to know their preferences for us to easily cope with them especially that technology nowadays is getting more advance.
