Do you agree or disagree the following statement? There is nothing that young people can teach older people. Use specific reasons and examples to support your position.
Many people believe that young people have nothing to teach older people. Of course, older people have more experience and knowledge than us. However, that does not mean young people have nothing to teach them. I disagree with this statement for several reasons and I support the idea that there are something young people know but older people haven’t know and they can learn from us.
Long time ago, when science and technology did not develop yet, this statement might be true. Because young people just learned from older people’s experience and books they wrote. But nowadays, with the development of technology, young people learn anything through means of mass communication and we can teach the elderly again. Computer is one good example. Two years ago, my mom did not know how to use computer. I had to teach her a lot and now, she can use computer easily or surf the web without my direction. So no reason why this statement is still true today.
Needless to say, older people have much experience and knowledge than the younger so we should learn from them very much. However, partly their knowledge and experience are outdated and the pace of technology development is too fast for them to follow. Young people have more time, sharp brains, they are creative and flexible, they can learn and do any things with all their enthusiasm. For example, we now have e-mail, messengers, webcams and so on. It is so difficult for the elderly to be familiar with these gadgets and we can teach them how to use.
In conclusion, we are teaching old people to get familiar with modern technologies in many ways. Reasoning from this, they can find out that technique inventions are fantastic.
