The generation that has seen a lot....

[arunima]

Gen X are the people who have seen the maximum transformation in all fronts. They have grown up in slow paced life, community culture Analogue Era, emerging technologies, moving to Internet Era and then quickly adapting to the digital Era. They have seen the rapid changes in socio economic front. And the changes it has brought to the lifestyle, thoughts and mindset. This generation people ( I am one of them) are currently going through their mid life crisis. They are the ones who are rooted in the traditional upbringing ( that is.for countries like India) and are trying their level best to cope up with their next generation who are mostly digital native and way different from them. This generation is stuck balancing their life between their elder generation ( in cultures like ours where we take care of elders and ageing parents) and their children who are born and brought up in digital Era. This generation is doing a lot to create that peace and harmony being the bridge between different generations in the family. It is the one adapting quickly to technological advancements, societal changes etc. They are considered the most adaptable generation. And that is considered their positive. But this does come with a lot of toll on their mental and emotional health. At times they are torn between the two generations, they are constantly trying to copy and live in stress. What is your experience or say about that? Do you belong to this generation? And what you feel about your situation?
