I was on a ferry from Barcelona to Mallorca. They had a movies, magazines and newspapers on what looks like an intranet app. It probably works the same way an airplane's in-flight entertainment.

"old generation" probably means generations of immigrants. 1.5th and 2nd generation immigrants are much different from native Indians, they are basically raised outside India and have non-Indian friends.
