Presentation
Gen X Change aims to bridge the generational gap between individuals by pairing the users based on their shared interests or goals. Older adults may have issues with tech literacy and familiarizing themselves with the ever-evolving technological sphere. In comparison, younger audiences are generally more adept with modern gadgets and tools, making them a great source of guidance and support while working with these technologies. However, older adults may also have valuable insights into specific careers, hobbies, or fields due to their former experiences with them, in turn. These insights may be useful to younger generations that may be interested in a given field. These unique needs and skills may offer a mutual exchange of knowledge and information between parties, creating a reciprocal exchange of knowledge between parties. Gen X Change is meant to be a space that fosters more meaningful connections and bridges the gap between generations via mutual interests and goals. This may reduce the effects of digital ageism and digital divide.
