Answer:

Cultural lag

Explanation:

A cultural lag occurs when society, or members of society, cannot keep up to date with technological advancements.

This may happen because of lack of exposure, training, or desire to participate in the new technologies.

In this case we have an example of cultural lag that is common in the elderly. While the 83 year old grandmother is using a computer, reducing her cultural lag in that way, she will not use her email anyway, either because she does not know how to do so, or because she does not want to. Either way, she is suffering from a cultural lag.

The Cold War was a period of _ between the United States and the Soviet Union.
exis [7]

the Cold War was a period of hostilities between the United States and the Soviet Union with their respective allies from the period 1950s to 1990 when the Berlin wall crumbled. During the Cold War, armies of both sides fought in the Arctic and the Antarctic. Fighting in the Eastern European theatre and in Cuba also occurred but only during the long wintry months.  

The Cold War created a huge headache for the Soviet Union as they had to move a lot of their soldiers and military equipment to the Antarctic to continue the fight in the Southern hemisphere in between June and August when it's winter down there and no battles were allowed to be fought in the Northern hemisphere which usually experienced the warm Summer months.  

As a counter measure, the Soviet Union developed tens of thousands of ICBM with multiple nuclear warheads to be detonated near the United States to create the phenomenon called 'Nuclear Winter' in North America due to the radioactive nuclear residues that blocked could block out the sun in Northern America. They shipped 561 SS4-Sandal SSM to Cuba as a first step. However, the Soviet plan was uncovered by the singer Bono of rock group U2 who was touring the Cuban countryside to promote his aids for Africa initiative.

What is the relationship between scientists’ definition of life and their ability to identify it on other planets?
Montano1993 [528]

Scientists have hundreds of potential definitions for life and their definitions often vary by the field of science that they are in.

Many scientists do agree on a basic definition of “life” as being able to reproduce, grow, and have continual change. Scientists are not exactly sure how life “begins”, but it is asserted that scientists will be most likely to find life, if life is dependent upon a water supply to thrive, in zones where liquid water or water vapor can exist on its surface. If there is the ability for life to thrive on other entities besides planet Earth using gases, where humans cannot survive, it will be harder to find these instances of life.
