The document discusses the generation gap between older and younger generations, particularly in the field of education. It notes that traditional schooling has changed little despite evidence of a digital world. A large generation gap exists in education that will widen unless schools change to adapt to new technology. While transition to digital education will take time for some areas, the rapid rise of information and communication technology means bridging the digital divide in society. The document stresses that educators must understand this gap and move beyond complacent, traditional approaches, or schools will become obsolete and fail to engage new learners.
