Make up classes :: Is there a new generational gap between internet-savvy youth and less savvy older generation?


I think "kiosk" is the most appropriate answer to this question. If you go to restaurants these days, especially fast food restaurants, we can see that they have a kiosk system in place to speed up rotation and reduce labor costs during busy hours. It is a method of ordering by machine, but because it is a little complicated, the elderly of the analog generation tend to find it difficult. I also work part-time at a fast-food restaurant, and the elderly usually say, "That's too hard. Help me with my order."

Week 1-1. Introduction to Sociology

1. Summary  Sociology is the study of what activities and thoughts human beings have as members of society. They are also interested in the structure of society and have a welfare system in place From small to big, the areas that society deals with vary. Sociological imagination allows individuals to deviate from self-centered perspectives and view the world as a common entity.

WK 1.4, what is Wikipedia? - Hanane Ben Abdeslam

The information can be freely viewed and edited by anyone. In this way, the open character ensures that the information available on Wikipedia continues to increase. However, because everyone can edit a Wiki, the articles cannot be guaranteed with true facts/information. Wikipedia trust their community/volunteers that they check their work themselves. Whoever wants to edit must follow a strict guideline when writing articles. This includes that articles must be objective and that no copyrights may be infringed. I find it interesting that a Wiki is technically a “group project” because many people are editing it together, without exactly knowing that more people have been writing. ...

W2-1 Sociology and Sociologists

A Short Summary of ‘Introduction to Sociology/Being a Sociologist’ This article was about what we can learn when we major in Sociology and what kind of occupations we can have after graduating a major of Sociology. Basically, there are two ways of path you can go after graduation and this is mostly the same in all majors in Liberal Arts. First is employment and second is studying further. Mostly, students choose to get employed and the range of employment varies from educations to marketing etc. Something I learned after reading ‘Introduction to Sociology/Being a Sociologist’ Before reading this piece of information in wikibooks, I didn’t know that there was such a variety of field a sociology major can go. I only thought of sociology itself, not the connected fields around it. Also, I was surprised that 1/4 of PhD sociologists choose to work outside sociology academia. PhD degree sociologists are the ones who studied sociology more than anyone but they leave all their ...
