Technology VS Baby Boomers
Every time there will be new technology been
introduced to the world. As a human being, we can’t run from the technology
because it will give tremendous benefit to human life as a whole. If you decided not yo follow technology, eventually
you will be outdated compared to other people. Now we taking about baby boomers
whereby they are live in so call “manual system”. As a human being, we can use
technology in beneficial our life in this world but the QUESTION IS not all of
us are willing to folow the technology especially for baby boomers. This is the
real situation happend to me. My dad not really into technology and he really
comfortable with his life right now. It is not easy to teach technology to baby
boomers. Simple case: use CDM to bank in the money. Even CDM give extra ebnefit
to people interm of saving time and cost, still my dad more prefer to do the
transaction manually through the counter. Eventhough we already teach him how
to do it but still he prefer the previous way. Last time we called handphone
but right now with new technology we have smartphone which gives huge benefits
to people. Now with smartphone all the information in o your finger tips. Now
we taking about the normal handphone, eventhough the system not very
complicated but still my dad not very familiar with the handphone system. Then
i said to him to refer to the manual in order to learn to operate the
handphone. He releuctant to do it and i wonder why. Then i said to him the
manual is in English version so you as a English teacher will definately
understand but still the answer is no. I think form my observation, not all
baby boomers can fit into the new technology. Maybe they already get to use the
old system too long and their mind already block to accept and learn new
tecnhlogy. You know we can’t force them to learn and understand the latest
technology in the short period of time. As for me, i just guide them
accordingly. At the end “Love UR Parents Always”
