For years, it seemed news outlets were fixated on the millennial generation (aka Generation Y) and the many items and industries it supposedly “ killed.” Before that, there was Generation X, aka “the MTV Generation.” When the oldest Gen Zeds were 2 years of age in 1997, Google.com was registered as a domain, and when they turned 5, USB flash drives and Nokia 3310 mobile phones were on the market.And that’s why we’ve called them Generation Alpha. Gen Y.1 = 25-29 years old (31 million people in U.S.) Gen Y.2 = 29-39 (42 million people in U.S.) Gen Z: Gen Z is the newest generation to be named and were born between 1995 and 2015. “At some point, it’s an arbitrary game.” Despite the environmentally conscientious times, the Zeds are the most marketed-to children of all time and the biggest consumers of any generation of children.It’s a world of Screenagers where not only do they multi-screen and multi-task, but where glass has become the new medium for content dissemination and unlike the medium of paper, it is a kinaesthetic, visual, interactive, connective and portable format.This Internet-savvy, technologically literate generation has been shaped to multitask. “A lot of things we attach to a generation are around the way they start to think about politics, the way they engage with the culture, and [whether they] are a wellspring of new social movements.” The narrative of a generation, he told me, “starts to get filled in with some meaningful—maybe not correct, but at least substantial—content probably more when they start to enter their teens.”How much do members of “Generation Alpha,” or any generation, really have in common?Settersten made a similar point: “It probably has gotten more difficult to distinguish one generation from another, especially if you can’t point to meaningful things that might define it, like a baby boom or bust; or a historical event like the Great Recession; or maybe the emergence of some new technology, if we had reason to believe that it would mark [people] as a distinct group.”Unfortunately, though, “generations talk” can often devolve into stereotyping, as generational labels necessarily lump together people with a wide variety of experiences.
Named after the first letter in the Greek alphabet, Generation Alpha is the first to be born entirely in the 21st century. To be sure, today’s coexisting cohorts have had meaningfully different experiences—Baby Boomers and Millennials, for instance, came of age in eras with markedly different technologies and paradigms of education and work. The launch of the iPad in 2010 coincided with the beginning of our current generation of children, Generation Alpha – and there are now 2.5 million Gen Alphas being born around the globe each week. How do we draw the line between the end of one cohort and the beginning of another?” said Rick Settersten, a professor of human development and family sciences at Oregon State University. Literally. We’ll see if that catches on in the coming years. But even though this is an orderly way of doing things, big societal changes don’t always follow neat 15-year increments.The march through the Greek alphabet may continue anyway.

The birth dates for this generation end in 2025 and begin in 2013. According to social researcher Mark McCrindle in his book 'The ABC of XYZ: Understanding the Global Generations' (www.mccrindle.com.au), this is what we can expect the next generation to be called.
One popular option from the survey was “Generation A,” but, McCrindle told me in an email, he thought the name for a cohort that would shape the future shouldn’t “be labelled by going back to the beginning.” So once the Latin alphabet was exhausted, he hopped over to the Greek one—“the start of something new.”Many of these takeaways seem premature, or at least overeager.
