Explain how the traditional notion of separating generations according to time is now being replaced by separating generations according to technology and media experience.

What will be an ideal response?

Communication scholars suggest that what separates the generations is not just the chronological era in which they were born but also the technology that encompasses their world. Accordingly, members of different technology and media generations view the use of certain technology and media differently. For example, if you were born into a generation that does not know a time when smartphones were not used, you perceive their use differently than someone born before the introduction of smartphones.
