These 'Alpha Generals' will change the world forever

The Alpha generation will grow up with the iPad, unable to live without smartphones and be able to stream thoughts online in seconds.

Alpha children will change the world

Retail and financial strategists are always trying to target Generation Z - people born after 1990 who don't remember the world before the technology began to explode.

However, in an article published last Wednesday, analyst at Goldman Sachs bank argued that "Gen-Z may" only have an impact rather than "Millenials Generation" - also known as "Generation Y" .

So what is the next letter Z? Who is the next generation Gen-Z? is a question that many people care about.

According to experts predicting the future, demographer and speaker Mark McCrindle were born after 2010 as part of "Generation Alpha " ( Alpha Generation ) . According to him, there are currently 2.5 million Alpha born worldwide each week.

Kids Alpha grew up with iPads, can't live without smartphones and can stream thoughts online in seconds.

The children in the Alpha generation grew up with iPhone and many other technologies.

The terrible changes in technology and many other effects make Gen-Alpha the most variable generation in history.

"In the past, each individual often did not have real power. But now things have changed. Everyone has the ability to control their lives. Technology - somehow replaced change our expectations for interaction ".

Where did Gen-Alpha come from

It all started when McCrindle and his team wondered about who would follow Gen-Z. In 2005, McCrindle's team conducted a national survey in Australia. Accordingly, they asked the participants to think for their next generation a potential name.

"Alpha" is chosen by many as a natural rule. Like science, for example meteorology often uses the Greek alphabet after using up the Roman alphabet and Arabic numerals.

While there are also a few other names like Gen Tech, Digital Natives and Net Gen, many mention "Generation Alpha".

Anyone under 5 years old or will be born within the next 15 years are Gen-Alpha. Unlike the previous generation - those who simply use technology, the Alpha will spend most of their life immersed in technology.

"Even if new technologies have been changed. It's not just email - it's Instant Messaging. It's no longer sharing documents online but Prezzi and YouTube videos."

Demographic changes

The change in global population will also affect Gen-Alpha's experience. For example, according to UN data in early 2028, India could surpass China to become the world's most populous country.

"The naming of generations has become a trend in the West," McCrindle said. For example, "Baby Boomers" - the name given to children born in the US after World War II. Or " Teenager" - a term derived from around the middle of the 20th century.

However, these names are a new definition in developing countries - which are lagging behind both population and technology. It is this that does not create many differences between generations.

Particularly, the period of Gen-Alpha, India and China may be two centers of witnessing many changes - especially when China recently abolished the one-child policy that existed for 35 years. Countries that are less developed naturally will see a more pronounced distance than Gen-Alpha.

"When technology is better with more users, accelerating growth, children in these countries will exchange some of their traditional eastern values ​​to gain technological knowledge. new and global ideas , " McCrindle said.

Leap

A more convenient connection environment made the leap from Gen-Z to Gen-Alpha the farthest in history, according to McCrindle. Even bigger than the distance from Baby Boomers to Gen-X - those who lived during the invention of computers.

With Baby Boomers - the latest computers are still primitive and manual. They require effort and understanding of programming to use.

"However, what we have on social networks today is the shift from audiovisual to movement. It's still the platform, but the computer moves from the keyboard to the touch screen."

Gen-Alpha will also interact with these technologies at the earliest age of all generations. Currently a lot of "Teenager" no longer wear watches because they can watch hours via mobile phones. With the support of high technology, Alpha will not even need to "wear" , even "do" many other things.

"Gen-Alpha does not think technology is a tool. It exists as a unity in their lives."
