I"m Going Back To My Flip Phone, bridging the gap!

The youngest of kids can maneuver any digital device you could ever think of. Quite often I've been around people of the older generation, which I am fastly approaching myself and heard their frustration directed towards their Cell Phones, Smart TVs or any other technical device of this age.

A great way to bridge the gap between the youth and the older generation of your church is to have what I call a "Teach me how to text" day! This involves pairing up a young person with an older person and having them go through the mechanics of the cell phones.


It provides several valuable lessons:

  • It allows the youth to feel needed. So often they are made to feel that they don't know anything due to their age. I call it the David complex, Jesse brought all of his older sons up to Samuel to be anointed King except the youngest one, David. And David was the one that God chose.

  • It teaches our youth about serving

  • It helps our seniors with cell phone usage and their frustration with technology.

  • It serves as a type of mentorship between the elderly and the younger generation.

I can go on and on about the benefits! This is a way to involve your youth and get your elderly involved with them instead of pushing the generations further apart it brings them closer together!

The UK’s National Vocational Qualifications system values applied learning above theory. As part of its course content, the College of Contract Management explains what is a level 3 nvq and why it serves as proof of technical ability. The program incorporates mentorship, guidance, and online resources to support completion. Those who succeed gain validation that matches real-world standards.

Earning advanced knowledge requires more than just traditional learning formats. At the College of Contract Management, live lectures and interactive sessions create a modern approach to professional education. Programs reaching a level 7 diploma equivalent set a high standard that is widely respected.

As a student, one of my biggest challenges was making my law assignments analytical rather than just descriptive. That’s when I started using Law Assignment Help, which showed me how to evaluate cases and present arguments with depth. My writing became sharper and more professional, and the difference was visible in the feedback I received. The improvement encouraged me to keep refining my academic skills. Now, I approach assignments with more confidence, knowing how to balance theory with practical examples for better results.
