Today "with a smartphone in the hands of" born for a generation of young people. From childhood they know how to handle a variety of gadgets. Relate an experience when my daughter was three and a half years, I often played with it on a computer in a child's play - a rudimentary, just for little kids. After a while there is such a situation: I go into a room where there is a computer and my kid diligently "spiers" in this game!
On the question of how it all turned on the computer (he was always off) and how to find the game, the daughter replied, "I pressed this button (Computer power button), waited, then pushed here, here and here (shows how to select commands: Start, Programs, and etc). And so came my game! "
Then I was in complete shock: the child who can not read, remember not only the correct positioning of buttons, but also a certain combination! Or here's another thing: my son is now two years, and he freely "surf" on YouTube expanses in search Malyshkova cartoons. Besides, it does not matter in what medium it is to watch them.
My children - a vivid example of the new generation of young people: Generation Y and Z. You could say that five generations living in this country:
1. Older representatives of the "silent generation". They were born in the period between the Revolution and the Second World War.
• The main events that have shaped the values of this generation - industrialization, collectivization, repression, war.
• Leading values generated under these conditions: law-abiding, teamwork, willingness to work hard and sacrifice to "higher" goals.
2. Generation "bebi- boomers" constitute a significant proportion of employees of companies in our country, although gradually replaced, retirement.
• They grew up in a period of significant positive changes in the life of the country: the end of the war and the economic recovery, "thaw" after years of repression under Stalin. These and many other factors formed the generation that sees the world a positive and confident in their capabilities.
3. "Generation X» Many authors regard as disappointing.
• Their childhood and adulthood occurred in the years of stagnation and growing economic and ideological crisis, the collapse of the Soviet Union and the ensuing economic collapse. As a result, the representatives of this generation is characterized by pragmatism, the habit to rely on their own strength, skeptical attitude toward ideology.
4. "The generation of the Y" or "millennium generation". For them, the world is, by definition, is fluid and unstable.
• They understand how to be always in touch with childhood perceive mobile communications, the Internet and social networks as an essential condition of existence.
5. "Generation Z», representatives of the XXI centuryAbout whom there is little that can be said - even had time to be born, only one half of it.
Take into account that a clear boundary between the generations does not exist. In this article we will learn more about the generation Y (year of birth from 1983 to 2003, that is, they are now between 8 and 28 years old. And some values continue to form until now). It is also called a generation of thumb! This is due to the fact that cell phone for them there is almost always and these children are able to quickly recruit them SMS.
Thus, the generation of "zero", "Millennium", "y" - generation, represented by the young audience now, at the beginning of the two thousandth. Now we try to understand the characteristics. Based on the results of the study of modern sociology, the following can be isolated, peculiar to youth generation Y.
1. Generation Y have well developed social skills. They are sociable and contact (though prefer to communicate indirectly - through social networks and mobile phone).
Bright representative of this generation - the founder of the «Facebook» Mark Zuckerberg was born in 1984. (Ideal Y-companies today can be called «Google», «Yandex», «Mail.ru» and other large IT-companies.
2. Well-developed interpersonal skills "y" is directly related to the fact that they have a child had the opportunity to use digital technology and well-versed in them.
3. For all its communicability "y" - individualists who need to express their views. Perhaps because they are less ideological, than their predecessors.
4. Family to "y" is of great importance. The concept of "decent life" - is primarily a job and family.
5. "Y" is not like a long time to engage one in the same. They do not want to work for a long time in one place and in the same profession. They live in the present day. They expressed little desire for long-term plans, they appreciate rapidly achievable goals. In fact, what is the plan for a career, if tomorrow again explode a bomb in the subway, but the new iPhone have to catch popolzovavshis now, because a year later he was already out of date.
6. Employees - "y" are aimed at flexible hours and remote work to have time for other interests (such as travel).
Already the world is now being rebuilt by "y". Just ten years later the main part of the working population will be representatives of this particular generation. We need to understand now that they are different. The value system is different: freedom, entertainment, the result itself. At the forefront of Generation Y goes immediate reward. Again, the "y" do not build long-term plans. While it is interesting, people will be engaged in this work, but for the past six months, everything can change, but to build a five-year plans, he simply is not going to.
