Generation Alpha
Generation Alpha is the designation for the emerging generation born from the middle of the first decade of the 21st century until about 2025. This generation follows Generation Z and is characterized by a world increasingly shaped by technological advances and globalization.
The characteristics of Generation Alpha
For Generation Alpha, digital technology is natural, as they have grown up in an age of smartphones, tablets, and other advanced devices. They have access to a wealth of information and educational resources via the Internet, dramatically changing their learning experiences and knowledge formation. This generation is growing up in a world where climate change and sustainability are major issues, so they are likely to be more environmentally conscious than previous generations.
Generation Alpha is expected to be a diverse and multicultural group as global migration patterns continue to change. Their future will be affected by unknown challenges and opportunities, but they are expected to be innovative and flexible in addressing these issues. This generation embodies the continuing evolution of our society and culture in an ever-changing world.
