Keywords:
Digital Technology, Family Dynamics, Digital Literacy, Online interactionAbstract
The purpose of this study is to examine problems with digital mass customisation and how it affects connections between generations. People’s expectations regarding how digital technology will improve and affect them, their relationships, their attitudes, their behaviour, and many other aspects are examined through a questionnaire survey. This study’s objectives were to examine how digital technology affects the dynamics and quality of intergenerational relationships, evaluate its effects, pinpoint advantages and disadvantages, comprehend digital literacy, and investigate behavioural shifts. All of us have undergone a significant transformation as a result of our digital involvement, and age is no barrier to this transformation. In reality, people are getting closer online but farther apart offline. Other significant considerations taken into account are privacy concerns and varying expectations in straining relations.
To navigate such complex problems, it is essential to set boundaries for technology use and promote digital literacy.
