Apparently the youngest generation today is generation alpha. They're five years old and younger, and will continue to be born for the next decade or so. They grow up using smart phones and tablets as babies. What do you think they'll be like when they hit their 20's? Will civilization last that long? Do you know any alphas? Outside of sleeping, eating, crying, and making GBS threads themselves, what are their hobbies and interests? Alphas these days have millennial parents, so maybe they'll grow up to rebel against everything my generation stands for, which might be a good thing, IMO.

My daughter is an alpha and uses a (not connected) iPhone to play learning games. If we raise them right then there is hope but the world will probably turn to utter poo poo by the time this generation reaches adulthood since we are still "discussing" if global warming is real and basic science is being challenged by religion every day. And history for that matter. Textbooks are referring to slaves as "workers" who came from Africa in textbooks. If the US is any indication the world is hosed.

I have a question. Why the gently caress was the generation before boomers called the greatest generation? Isn't that pretty much setting every subsequent generation up for failure? gently caress you, greatest generation. We never even had a chance.

Coming out of the depression into WWII was a character builder that we could never match...because that made everything very simple and the larger issues didn't need to be considered.

The generation before boomers is the forgotten generation, named for their participation in the Korean war, and for the fact that nobody seems to remember they exist. The greatest generation is called that for their participation in WWII, apparently. Also, I think they named themselves, so they got to pick something cool, I guess.

The children now love luxury. They have bad manners, contempt for authority; they show disrespect for elders and love chatter in place of exercise.

A lot of it has to do with the education system so we have to wait to see if that will remain poo poo or not.

The Greatest Generation suffered serious hardships and killed Nazis, they deserve whatever name they want. I'll never forget the forgotten generation. The portrayal of forgotten generation beatniks in media always seemed so chill compared to the annoying hippie, braindead gen x extreme sports bro and pompous hipster.

It rankles to hear them call themselves/be called "The Greatest Generation" because a generation represents everybody contemporaneous in civilization, right? So they're all: "We killed Hitler!  "but then it's sort of like, "Yeah, but you also made Hitler." Frankenstyle posted:Millennials got participation trophies for showing up at soccer practice. Now they're getting achievements just for finishing campaign mode on easy. Shameful.

phasmid posted:It rankles to hear them call themselves/be called "The Greatest Generation" because a generation represents everybody contemporaneous in civilization, right? So they're all: Most of the titles to refer to specific generations really only talked about Americans until fairly recently. In the increasingly global society, with more countries becoming emerging economies, it's tarting to apply to more and more of a global phenomenon .
