Grand mother - grand child generation gap

Watching my new grandchild last night, I wondered how she will remember me when she grows up. When I think back to my fathers mother (my mothers mother died when I was young so I don't remember her) I think of an old lady who never really spent much time with me as she always seemed so infirm.
I'm hoping to spend lots of time with mine and do exciting things like bike riding and going walking up hills.
I think (hoping that) the generation gap between me and my gran was much wider than the one between me and my grand daugher, as older people nowadays are younger than they used to be.
What do other GN's think.
