Most of us know we're not very good at this. People from a different generation know really cool stuff you don't. Learn from them. Make new friends. Who says all your mates have to be the same age?
If you're young, you may get on with an elderly neighbour. Don't see them as old, see them as experienced. They'll have some really cool stories to tell.
If you're older, get yourself around younger people. They'll keep you young and open minded to new things.
Like the eight year old girl who spends every Saturday morning on her seventy two year old neighbour's allotment. She gets to learn all about Maris Pipers, he gets to know all about Tracey Beaker.
