I'm tempted to say it is the same as "old vs new", but I know it's only a quantitative thing. It's not like all of the old generation was for the first and against the latter.

"The individual has always had to struggle to keep from being overwhelmed by the tribe. If you try it, you will be lonely often, and sometimes frightened. But no price is too high to pay for the privilege of owning yourself." Friedrich Nietzsche, philosopher (1844 - 1900) |

Synchronizing with the present time is not that big a deal. Keeping your eyes open, your ears keen, and your reflexes intact isn't particularly difficult. Following your herd is not something hard (or something to be proud of). Most people are on Facebook and Twitter. I'm not.
