The speaker discusses the generational differences in technology use, particularly among older generations. They note that older generations are often slower to adapt to new technologies, and this is especially true for those who are 60-70 years old or elderly. They mention that their parents, who are older, are still hesitant to use new technologies, such as social networks and the Internet, due to fear of breaking the technology or not understanding how it works.
The speaker's mother recently registered on Instagram, but she is still hesitant to use new appliances like a washing machine. She is afraid of breaking it and is still using her hands to wash clothes. The speaker's father, on the other hand, is more conservative in terms of high-tech and is just starting to get used to a phone that has no buttons. He uses the Internet mainly for downloading movies and searching for important information.
The speaker also mentions a humorous incident where their father downloaded a film about a white tiger instead of a film about the Second World War, and they ended up watching a film about food and animals instead of a war film. The speaker concludes by saying that the older generation may not be as smart as the younger generation, but they have their own strengths and wisdom.
