Generation Gap

My Parents and I
My parents and I get along very well. We really enjoy each other’s company, and we have a lot in common. The only time I see a generation gap between my parents and I is when it comes to technology. Newer models of mobile phones, computers, and smart televisions are released each year. It is hard for my parents to keep up. I have to constantly teach them about social media, taking selfies, and how to post on social media. It can be frustrating for them at times but I am always happy to help.

부모님과 나
부모님과 나는 잘 지내는 편이다. 서로 함께 있는 걸 즐기며 함께 나눌 공통점도 많다. 부모님과 나 사이에 유일하게 세대차를 느끼는 게 바로 테크놀리지 부분이다. 스마트폰이나 컴퓨터, 그리고 스마트 티비의 신모델들이 매해 쏟아져 나온다. 부모님이 이런 것들을 따라잡기에는 힘들다. 나는 끊임없이 소셜미디어나, 셀카 찍는 것, 웹에 게시하는 방법 등을 가르쳐 드려야 한다. 가끔 답답하긴 하지만 도와 드릴 수 있는 게 기쁘기도 하다.
