Cultural lag is used to describe a situation in which the technological advancements occur faster than the change in the rules and norms of the culture.
Example: Not only the younger people but also some older people are using social media (most commonly facebook) as a media of communicating with their friends and relatives recently. Still some people thinks that social media users are lonely, distracted from others since those people couldn’t accept this technology yet.
