Modern Society: Adaptation or Obsolescence?

When does a society becomes a modern society? Or I can put this question as, is the society becomes modern or we keep growing obsolete or old fashioned.

I presume that all the generations so far, and this I think from the times, man started evolving, thinking that the next generation is a bit modern and if he or she not able to catch up and cope up with the modern way, they try and think to change it.

But seldom its possible to change, because the only options are either soak in or get away.

Being modern becomes the need of the time, the change in trends in terms of fashion, the way people behave, react, the food, the way they communicate, and many things.

It is a gradual process, the one who wants to change are also become a part of the modern one, but they deny it, as their self-conscious, sometimes arrogance won’t allow to be dragged in what they don’t like.

For me, though I feel many difficulties to adapt to modern society, would not like to change anything or can say won’t be able to change anything.

So, here I am going with the flow.
