The comprehensive analysis will include the impact of today's technology and social networks, with a view to comparing American society both globally and locally in Croatia because of the media that have enabled it to become a globally widespread social phenomenon. Different characteristics of generations and their breakdown by age will also be explored with a greater focus on the youngest generation, Generation Z, and how it differs in attitudes, lifestyles, humor and the like, compared to previous generations due to constant involvement in the technological environment . Also, a look at the generational division will explore what the division contributes to and whether there has always been a generational division or whether it is just a current temporary phenomenon. In addition, the practical research will touch on the topic of whether there are actually differences between generations, or whether they are different age groups, since generations are defined according to years of birth. An important aspect that is also the focus is the view of the negative or positive impact of technology on the generational divide.
