The problem described in the passage is an example of cultural lag, which refers to a delay in the acceptance of new cultural ideas, practices, or technologies by a society or a subset of that society. In this case, younger generations are more comfortable sharing their lives on social media, while older generations may not fully understand or be comfortable with this new form of communication.
