The information era is by another name a transitional era, where the whole society has been in a constant state of change since the day they were born. Information is traveling faster than ever allowing the public to do just the same and with the world constantly lapping itself, how could there not be consistent confusion?

As a Millennial, I consider myself tech-savvy and able to not only use the web, but use it effectively and efficiently. Though, I have witnessed the complications and complexities of the web also from other perspectives and generations through the eyes of my siblings, parents, and grandparents.

Of the people who grew up without the Internet, I find them most often to continue to be completely content and much less afraid of still using the simplicity of a house phone, and the commonality of post-mail. This is my grandparents generation, and others who are on the verge of retirement and older. They feel little need to concern themselves with these new technologies.

Now, my parents generation, vaguely encompassing that of 35-55 year-olds; this is where the transitional era takes its strongest hold. They have accepted the usefulness of the technology, both through cost and speed, but find it difficult to make the transition as they did not grow up with it, nor use it in their schools.

Some of the factors that cause the confusion include:
1) Flashing lights, visual dynamics, and other multi-medias that were not available to interact with through way of books and other previous sources of information. Often times, when scrolling quickly as I often do, searching for keywords and areas of interest it will confuse on elder onlooker whom is much more accustom to previous methods of scanning.

2) Method of organization - Those in the grasp of the transitional era are very used to a systematic, alphabetic organization of information. Simple, scientific, and organized. Instead, the Internet opened itself up to a much more interesting method of organization, and that is through relevance. Search engines will send bots through pages of information sifting out keywords that web users will search for. So when a Transitional clicks "find" on Google, or any other search engine, their search may not have been as precise as they hoped, and to scroll through their multi-million options of results is an information overload to one whom has the expertise of a librarian scanning alphabetic shelves of books.
