Abstract

The purpose of this study is to make a bridge among Generazion Z, Millenial, Y, X, and Baby Boomers by showing that they will have a huge impact on how Baby Boomers and Gen Z interact with each other especially in the classroom. Since there is almost 30 years between these two generations, so much has change in the world of technology. The students will be more advance in technology than their teachers. The main machine in all research is a researcher, or a team of researchers by using technology. In qualitative research, the researchers have a lot to do with planning the study, arranging for situations to observe, interviewing people, examining records, putting patches of ideas together,  and writing reports. The instrument of this research may take the form of some application  photographs, art objects, videotapes, website pages, emails, text messages, social media, or any forms of sound. The result of this is important for teachers to keep in mind because the way you learned and the things you were taught are outdated to this generation. The teachers must also learn how to use technology in the classroom or the students will become bored and uninterested in their learning. Also, the students will see no value in the information they are learning because they will view it as outdated and this generation is very hands-on wanting to figure it out for themselves.
