The Book: Wifi & Wisdom – Connecting with Teens

By Neelam Kumar (Baby Boomer)

Rajveer Kumar (Gen Z)

From Author’s Desk: Why did a Gen Z grandson and a Baby Boomer grandmom write this first-of-its-kind-book together?

But first, who are Baby Boomers? Anyoneborn from 1946 to 1964.

And Gen Z? Anyone born from 1997 to 2012.

Since our time, the Earth has spun many circles around the Sun. The entire canvas of life has changed so much that it is almost unrecognisable to the other generation. Several Gen Zs cannot imagine how their grandparents lived without gadgets in those “black and white times”. Several Baby Boomers baulk at the speed of today’s technological change. “Gran, how was it in your times?” Rajveer, my 16-year-old grandson, often asks me.

“Well, Veer, everything has changed, but in many ways, nothing has changed,” I tell him. This is how this book between generations was conceptualised.

We discuss my leisurely, stress -free teenage years and he tells me about today’s academic load and how AI is changing the world. Rich in perspectives and sprinkled liberally with Gen Z and Baby Boomer interviews, our book is about all the things that make us different and yet all the things that bind us.

Misconceptions abound. Are today’s teens a lost generation, glued to mobile devices? Are the Senior teenagers judgemental, stuck in the past and complaining about the lifestyle of today’s youth? What expectations do we have from the other generation? Can we bust some pre-conceived notions and stereotypical myths? Is there a way forward?

Come, join us in this interesting dialogue of discovery, wonder and mutual findings across decades. Come, share with us what your times are/were like….
