THE PROBLEM
THE INSIGHT
THE SOLUTION
The low level of intergenerational solidarity which exists in Belarus is the reason why phenomenon of ageism is developing here, the consequences of which are marginalization of elderly people, their self-isolation from social life and general hostility of ageing.
New technologies made possibilities of connection almost unlimited, but in the society different generations till now have difficulty to understand each other.

The basis for empathy between people is an attempt to understand another person and to look at life with their eyes. Search results on the internet are fixated on himself and we see the things that interest only us. To break down the barrier between generations we suggest them to switch places via browser plugin. It will give a chance to all the generation to get younger generation's cookies and vice versa. As many services take into consideration cookies for generating searching results and recommendations, each side will see what surrounds the other side every day. It'll let make the first step towards socialization of elderly people.

Recommendations
Many major sites use big data, they manage content results in a way that will match the person using this site. Because of that plugin all of the recommendations will not be yours but will match other generation. This includes all searching tools like Google and Yandex. Even if you search, watch or buy something specifically for yourself, additional offers won't be related to that.
