  • This IELTS question is about phones. Do young and old people use cell phones in

  • the same way? Not really. The older generation tend to use the most basic

  • features of any mobile phone. They probably make calls or send texts or

  • check their emails if they have that capability. Whereas younger people, I

  • think, are much more adventurous and they take full advantage of all the

  • capabilities and all the functions that a smartphone has. They tend to be the

  • first ones to download new apps, the first ones to try out new software, when

  • that becomes released - when that gets released. I think older generations

  • probably use the basic features because it's more similar to the technology that

  • they grew up with when they were young. When they were growing up they only had

  • phones and maybe emails and letters so they use the features that are the most

  • similar to those methods of communication. Want more? Check out Mark
