When you are designing a website you definitely have to keep the age generations in mind. If you are trying to create a site that has a rich internet experience but you are trying to engage an older audience that probably wouldn't work as well. Younger generations can take less noticeable hints about how the website works. ex: they will mouse around the page until they see what something does. An older generation might get frustrated trying this and give up.
I know that different generations have big gaps in learning technology. After I got my smartphone my mom was no longer able to use my phone for even making a simple phone call. Trying to teach older generations about technology can be challenging because our generation started at a much younger age using technology. By the time our childrens generation is growing up technology will be incorporated into almost everything they do. I also think that technology will be changed once again when this generation evolves.
