Generation Gap

ok…I am not old. At least not absolutely. I am not.

(20 something is not old and you know that)

But I feel old sometimes, or…. ok may be just older. I see freshmen kids coming to college and then I see what they do, and I get amazed. I can never understand how they do, what they do.

I always try and imagine myself 5 years ago, and how I dealt with similar situations, and man, I was different.

(I am not saying whether in a good or bad way, I just was)

And I feel the generation gap. Especially with those who come from India.

Some notable changes::

• While I grew up listening to old Hindi music, and watching old bollywood movies on cable, they listened to Ricky martin primarily and don't even know about the movies in the 70’s.
• I got my first computer in 8th grade, and they don't even remember when their first happened, probably because they were too young to remember
• I never drank alcohol before coming to college, and they know all the liquor kinds.. (I still am bad at them)
• I did not even know how to approach a boy at 18, I was god damn shy and so were most of my girl friends, but now..hmmmm… girls know their deal

And trust me this list can go on (only if I remember all things clearly)

Basically I don't know whether it is increasing technological development or increasing communication channels or media impact. But there is a gap, and it is widening too fast
