What Does This Photo Say About Our Society?

Let that question sink in.
In the society we live in today, we use technology to improve our daily lives in so many ways. Heck, look at Steemit. A arguably censorship resistant, decentralized, and FUN blockchain project. The reason I ask this question (in the title) is to open a dialogue with my followers, and the Steemit community as a whole.

Personally, this photo represents a generational gap. A gap between the tech savvy younger people and the practical and technologically disadvantaged. As our life gets easier, their life gets harder. As we become more intertwined into our devices, they feel more isolated. I'm not sure that anything as a whole can be done to rectify this. The only thing, we can do is try to recognize when one of the "others" (i know, i know) feels they aren't apart of whatever is happening. In this situation, you should try to make the effort, to either educate the "other" on technology or, just hand the victory over and lock our devices and take part in whatever is happening around us.

Please comment and let me know, what this picture means to you!

It is very true. We have to make an effort to stay connected to our old folk . They dovhave experiences that only they can share with us and might to extremely helpful too. But the issue is most of them do not want to get involved in the learning of technological devices so how do you teach someone who is not prepared to learn?

Says everything doesn't it.
