In a world rapidly changing in response to technology, how crucial is cross-generational collaboration in guiding the next generation through the labyrinth of the digital age?
This week I chatted with Ayush Prakash, a Gen Z author & podcast host from Montreal, to explore the vital role of cross-generational collaboration in equipping the next generations with AI and technology skills. Our conversation covers the challenges and opportunities this digital era presents, and how youth can navigate and harness these changes for their future.
We delve into the assumptions about Gen Z as digital natives, the profound impact of social media, and the necessity of guiding them in a world increasingly shaped by technology. We also discuss the importance of older generations' wisdom in complementing the adaptability and tech-savviness of the youth.
This episode is essential for anyone interested in understanding the dynamics of the digital age and the collaborative efforts required to prepare future generations for success in a tech-driven world.
