Every generation is different from its previous one and hence there are a lot of differences, and some of

them very important, between my parents and my generation. The development of modern technology,
widespread of the internet, easy communication and access are few of the major factors that have
cause a great difference between my and my parents’ generation.

A major difference is the mode of communication. If we wish to talk to a friend, we would just text him
or call him up from our cell phones. It is very simple for us. But in my parents’ generation,
communication was difficult and expensive. Nobody owned a cell phone and the public phones were
used to deliver only urgent messages. Unlike us, they had very limited modes of communication. If our
friend has moved to some other city, then we may contact him instantly through social networking sites
or through phone numbers. But our parents’ generation wrote letter, which took days to get delivered.
Another important difference is the lifestyle and cultural background. Our parents’ generation was
never given as much freedom as it is given to our generation. The parents took major decisions of life
like career or marriage and the children did not dare to go against them. But our generation takes own
decisions of life. Our parents are kind enough to grant us these liberties. Our parents’ generation was
