Is Technology Generational?

Thornton May has a wonderful insight into how the generations view technology, he says each generation has a different relationship to technology describing it as
“a sixty year old uses a pc; a forty year old needs a pc, always; a twenty year old needs connectivity, always; and to those under twenty an Xbox is technology“
What struck me is how we need to realise that technology itself is not the key part to understanding how the different generations view new technology….it is about how they connect with it, and how they use it in relation to their lives.
