Well, I think old people and young people have a lot of differences. They have a generation gap, so it's very difficult for them to share the same hobbies. The older generation can be quite stubborn and heavily relies on their past experiences and traditional values, making it harder for them to accept new ideas. Young people nowadays are highly influenced by pop culture, and they are curious about new things, including language use, jargon, and slang that are specific to their generation, which older people may not easily understand.
