Millennial Generation

The main reason most people in past generations don’t like the Millennial generation is that they are addicted to technology, but is that really the problem. If technology was making the Millennials intelligence decline than the science scores would be declining. Millennials are starting a new era of being more technologically advanced than past generation and shaping the society around them to compensate for this constant desire of technology. Although it may not be technology doing this, it may be the new school system making kids less educated. The strong argument that “World and Screen” and “Mind over Mass Media” makes about technology being the reason the millennials aren’t succeeding are opposed by the argument that “The Beat (Up) Generation” and “The Coddling of the American Mind” makes about the school system and parents are preparing them poorly for the future while also bringing up the need to change the way past generation work with millennials.

First of all we live in a world where technology has become indispensable especially for the younger generation. This new generation will now live and grow with technology being part of there every day life. Technology is advancing

In today’s world, many people believe that technology’s sole purpose is to draw young people away from the real world and reality. Just because you do not realize it, it does not mean it is not happening. If you think back to when you were younger, was technology the same as today? However, technology is forever changing and improving. It affects everyone, not just the young group of people. Technology changes our brains, souls, and our very being. Once technology sucks you into the whole of its essence, you will have a hard time changing your life style.

Throughout the evolution of mankind, we made discoveries that change the way we live our lives today. Over time, these breakthroughs demonstrate the progress succumbed by the human race as challenges arise. Nevertheless, technology is a significant factor to the progress in today's world. If there was no tech then there would be no cell phones. Cell phones are one of those vital pieces of tech we use frequently. Tech is always around us. Humans create things to make life easier and resolve a once difficult task at hand. Moreover, inventions brought up in the past make the present and future bigger and brighter because of how much simpler life becomes. Because of the technological advancements

With the rapid growth of technology, the millennials are overly depending on technology. Wherever I go, most of the people I see is either texting or talking on their phones, including myself. These days, you can order almost anything and everything online. Although we rely on technology, I do not think it is a bad thing at all. Some people have to use technology for their job. Mostly, you cannot get a current day job without being able to use a computer or type. Our lives would not be the same without technological advances. Use it, but do not depend on

Joel Kotkin does not eschew controversy in the title of his essay "Are the Millennials the Screwed Generation." The author postulates that the post-war generation of Baby Boomers has ruined the American dream for the current twenty-somethings, the Millennials. Boomers came of age in a golden economy, with good housing and job markets, yet Millennials have had dismal outlooks in both. Kotkin explores polarities like these in the experiences of the two generations. Millennials may not have had the advantages of Boomers, but they are the future of the country. The author uses compelling evidence to argue that Generation Y is, as he indelicately phrases it, "screwed."

Millennials bring advantages in the workplace when it comes to the use of technology. They are the generation who knows how to use the high-speed and high-tech devices that are being produced. The journal “Understanding

Housing options are increasingly becoming a challenge in the United States of America. Competition is at an all-time high, as age and population forcibly create irremediable problems. The main challenge is being posed by baby boomers and millennials in the real estate market. For instance, many Americans depend on mortgages to finance their asset acquisitions. Income levels are plummeting, while the increase in mortgage rates and prices make it hard for many Americans to be able to afford various mortgage products that are being offered by financial institutions. Although housing options have arguably been growing at everlasting rate through construction, millennials might have an increasingly more difficult time relocating after college due

(CQ Researcher, page 553). Millennials are considered to be the “most diverse generation in American history, more than 40 percent of individuals are nonwhite” (CQ Researcher, page 553). You would think that some of the facts that I have stated prior to this would be a positive thing, but recently debates have been occurring regarding millennials such as, if they are able to reshape society/ the country in a positive way.

In this article, Wisenberg discusses how the Millenials are changing the work environment through developing technology. Because the Millennials are starting to dominate the workforce, the environment has gone through drastic changes. Just as much as technology, Wisenberg notes how the Millennials are bringing more focus to a more practical, more community-oriented family and workplace as well as demanding heavier technology to fulfill these preferences. They wish to fulfill a work-life balance and to become well-rounded people who want to work for a job they love instead of for a job with good pay.

We’ve all heard of the Baby Boomer Generation, known for pushing the boundaries to receive more equality and personal freedoms by expressing non-traditional values compared to prior generations, but who is Generation Now? Generation Now is the title I have chosen to describe my generation, not because we are a more current generation but because of our “have to have it right now” characteristics.

“The Try-Hard Generation,” by Fareed Zakaria, tells about the views of other generations on the millennial generation. Zakaria informs that a lot of those who are older than the millennials put labels on them down putting and not really good. Those people giving the labels are expecting the millennials to be like their generation and act like their generation when they were the same age. Zakaria explains that it is thought that since the millennials do not challenge the system with protesting and rebellion, then they must not be a great generation like the ones before it. Zakaria goes on and says that they millennials are just

We live in an age when many of us are always using technology. There are many devices that people use, such as smart phones, iPad, computers, game counsels, and many more. We use these devises for entertainment, communication, and work my mom uses technology for her work she is an assistant principle so she has to use a computer. My dad is a firefighter he needs technology for the people that call him when there is a fire. That is why adults need technology it is important for some jobs.

Technology is the foundation of a teenager’s everyday life. It is hard for them, and myself, to imagine our lives without it. I am always on my cell for either work, communication, or entertainment, but sometimes it feels as if I am addicted to my cell phone, and I would say that my friends may even be worse. Even though I may be connected with everyone on social media, it’s hard to say I have a real connection with them in real life. Technology is unarguably one of the greatest achievements in history, but I think it has limits and restrictions on people’s social lives, including millennials. Technology hinders millennials from developing deep, meaningful relationships, gives them a false sense of reality, and creates impatience and lack of focus.

Born into the age of technological advancements and globalization, the millennial generation is the largest in U.S. history measuring around 75.4 million people. Anyone born from the year 1981 to 2004 is considered part of the millennial generation. Their fast paced lifestyles and technological acuity demand products at their door step by the tap of a smartphone button. However, their demand for an increase in the convenience and flexibility in the retail process has shown a large change in the retail patterns of brand loyalty, brand marketing and purchasing habits.
