Explanation
A generation is a group of people born and living around the same time. For example, their grandparents’ generation lived without the internet. It can also mean the process of producing something, like the generation of electricity. People often compare different generations (young and old) to understand changes in ideas, technology, or lifestyle. Each generation learns from the past and builds a new future.
