With the advancement of technolgy, luxury and a pallete of options available, the younger generation are naturally practical. they need not take extra efforts to a practical approach. they are optimistic and ambitious. But, mosttimes over smartness shown by the younsters put them in trouble. Older generation has seen time life and hence they know the pros and cons of every situation. they have a natural ability to do so.

Yes I agree you too. Many youngs are impractical. Most don't understand their parents like : they want something to buy then their parents don't have money, even the parents tried to explain still they demand for what they want no matter what or where their parents get money so they are really impractical. Some don't go school if they are not given what they want or as if they leave the house for school but they don't attend class. They don't realize that going to school its for their own good. Tere are so many incidents that we can say that youngs now are impractical.

I totall agree with you magenn, that there are a lot of youngsters who put illegeal demands in front of there parents they use wrong ways to earn money or to fulfill there dreamz, this is where the gap between the young and the old arises, while the oldies have patience the younger lack it. but the young people have a dare to take risk and analyze rather than leaving the situation as it is, sometimes this risk taking may be fruitful and sometimes it's not.

I totally agree with you wherein younger generation are ambitious, and have practical approach. But they are oversmart. They feel they know most of things which older generation know. The basic question is they are not aware how much stress they are taking at an younger age. But older generation has come up steadily and consistently in their life.

what i can say is the older generation people like my parents and grandparents are tougher than us in terms of handling problems in their lives and survival... it is because they live harder lives than us as they don't have many facilities and convenience that we enjoy nowadays... because of this, they can handle problems and difficulties that they face in their lives better than us... take care and have a nice day...

hi oh that old old thing younger versus older and younger are always so much better, smarter, take risks blah blah blah. and us older ones are dunder heads blah blah, well younger generation here drove their fancy cars into deep water in the streeets here during torrential rains and had to be rescued from gasp older people who knew better than to drive into deep flood waters. so who is the dummies in that situation.younger people also are often impractical and also immature in relationships. oh yes they will not marry as they want to have fresh partners every couple of years, they have affairs, and cheat on their mates while us older dumber people stick to one mate for life,.Now who is the most practical the younger ones with five kids from five men and not married to any of them and mpw struggling to feed them or us older women with one husband and no worries about being cheated on? Sure some young people are level headed and doing fine,but get this,we older people have been doing just great so do not sell the older generations short.

Older generation vs younger generation...theres a lot of differences especially in terms of technologies. Before is so called stone age but now its very far. But not only technologies but also the behavior of the new generation is also different its due to so much exposure and they are influenced. Before the youngs are very respectful to the elders but now OMG many are very rude (but anyway not all).

I agree with you that younger generation is smarter than their older counterparts because of high protein nourishment they get at prebirth stage. They are also exposed to high tech gazettes as soon as they start to know about this world. This was not thought of in olden days. It took so long to understand certain things in life the younger generation know about them at very early age. But there is no substitute for the experience which is in abundance with the older generation. as you have rightly pointed out younger generation sometimes comes in problem due to lack of this.
