iPhone generation find 50 plus people freindly

London: A survey has revealed that young generation find people over 50s as ‘friendly’ and ‘knowledgeable’.

Youngsters actually have a rosier impression of their elders than older people give them credit for. While the over 50s typically think members of the iPhone generation see them as "past it", that is not the view held by most 18-to-24-year-olds. A survey has found that today’s young people think those of their parents`` and grandparents`` generations are friendly, knowledgeable and - for want of a more up-to-date expression - "with it". "Around 67 per cent of over 50s believe 18-to-24s perceive them as ``past it``, but the reality is that just 18 per cent of 18-to-24s actually have that perception,” the Telegraph quoted Ros Altmann, director general of Saga, which commissioned the poll, as saying. "And while only 11 per cent of over 50s think younger people perceive them as friendly, the reality is that around 29 per cent of 18-to-24s do actually think older people are indeed friendly. "Just 17 per cent of over 50s think 18-to-24s consider them knowledgeable. However, the truth is that 42 per cent of this age group perceive oldies as being great founts of knowledge," she added. YouGov conducted the research for Saga, which interviewed 1,148 adults in February. ANI
