I think the biggest difference is in the content they consume. For older generations, they often use apps to manage their finances and create family groups. They also like to share health and social news with their children as a way to stay connected and offer advice. Younger generations, on the other hand, are more interested in things like entertainment, celebrity news, travel, and food. They're also more likely to use social media to connect with friends and share their experiences.
