Who Are Generation Z and Generation Alpha?
"Generation Alpha is loosely defined as those children born after 2010. However, since these definitions are based on resources, a child born after 2005 could easily be considered alpha since their lives are completely digital and much different to the child born in 1991, before mainstream internet..."

The many dimensions of Gen Z: How are they different from Gen Y?
"The teenagers on the leading edge of Gen Z are clearly different from Gen Y-ers in the way they react to the world and, if you’re a skeptical Gen X-er like me, you need to quantify the difference based on data. That’s what Sparks & Honey set out to do — by doing big-data analysis of social networks, conducting focus groups, deploying “cultural scouts” around the world and other methods — and their findings describe a generation being shaped by technology and austerity.
If Y-ers were the perfectly connected generation, Z-ers are over-connected. They multi-task across five screens: TV, phone, laptop, desktop and either a tablet or some handheld gaming device, spending 41 percent of their time outside of school with computers of some kind or another, compared to 22 percent 10 years ago. Because of that they “lack situational awareness, are oblivious to their surroundings and unable to give directions.”
Members of this new generation also have an 8-second attention span, down from 12 seconds in 2000, and 11 percent of them are diagnosed with attention deficit disorder, compared to 7.8 percent in 2003. They prefer to communicate in symbols, such as Emoji ideograms, rather than words: It’s faster, less unnecessarily precise and more intuitive. Journalists may have to start experimenting with this new language soon, despite our innate conservatism..."
