But, before that let me introduce my mom background, hope you are okay and happy to read it. My mom, Munah Binti Yakin is already 63 years old and she is a Baby Boomers generation. She is the youngest daughter from six siblings. Currently, she is a single mother but not available because of my father already passed away since year 2006 and now she is a housewife. Besides that, she has eleven children where I am number ten. So, can you imagine how my mom and dad teach and take care eleven of us where seven of us are male and the balance are female? And the good thing is where, Alhamdulillah all of us become a successful and good person today.

For your information gadget refers to the mechanical device or tools that can make our life easier today. For example hand phone, computer, laptop, thumb drive, hard disk, speaker, ear phone, mouse, MP 4, MP 3 and so many more. Luckily, for generation Y and generation Z they are generations that live with technology at the young age. So, with this technology it can make life become easier where, all activities can be done quickly plus can save time, cost and energy. That means the exposure toward new technology and if there are any changes regarding the technology, this generations Y and Z can easily cope with that changes. However, for generation X and Baby Boomers, new technology and the changes from traditional method to technological method may bring lots of difficulties and problems to them. That is why, we can see that any updated gadget especially hand phone such as from Samsung Galaxy S3 to Galaxy S4 the main focus of target market for Samsung company is generation Y and Z. It is same goes with the car company today. For example Myvi car, where, according to Professor Dr. Sariwati my operation management lecturer at Universiti Teknologi Mara (UiTM) has mentioned that actually, the younger people is the target market for Myvi car especially for generation Y.  Thus, generation X and Baby Boomers may take a long time to cope and follow the new trend of technology today in order to become updated like Y and Z generation.

The interesting part is where my mom is one of the Baby Boomers generation. In order to make us easily contact between each other my brother gave new smartphone to my mom with the purpose to let her bring the smartphone anytime and anywhere plus we can contact her anytime we would like to. But, the problems is where she did not know how to use it even though to press green button for answer the call, red button to end call and make or reply the message. Before this, she only familiar with the telephone and public phone, but now, this is the first time in her life using the gadget tools like hand phone. So, it takes 2 years for my mom to be familiar and know how to use the smartphone even though every day my younger brother teaches her to use smartphone. The result is where now, she knows and able to make a call, to answer and end the call, and to read the message but, other things and function she still not able to cope with. My mom is so sweet!! Why? Because, she takes another one more year to be expert in capturing pictures, see the picture from folder and watching video through the smartphone. Currently, we are going to teach her how to use Facebook, WhatsApp and WeChat through her smartphone.

Here, the thing that I want to convey based on my mom story is where, not everyone know how to use new technology, new application and new gadget. We, as the lucky generation and known as IT literacy need to be grateful for this entire advance environment that we have. So, I encourage to all my reader which expert in using gadget and technology to try to help your family if you have family members that did not know how to use gadget and new technology. This is not for my benefit, but this is for all of us because today, technology is very important and with technology especially gadget it may help us to move forward besides, we can know and updated with the current situation happened in our country and outside country. Thus, it may help us to become out-of-the-box and open minded person like the people in develop countries and not to be like “bagai katak dibawah tempurung” (this is Malay idiom which refer to people who does not care about what happened around them).
