Today there are seven generations, and the seventh of them is called «Alpha», following Generation Z or centennials. Australian researcher Mark McCrindle, who coined the term, believes Generation Alpha should be «the start of something new.»
Generational definitions are most useful when they span a specific age range and thus allow meaningful comparisons across generations. Baby Boomers — 1946-1964, Generation X — 1965-1979, Generation Y (Millennials) — 1980-1994, Generation Z: 1995-2009, Generation Alpha: 2010-2024. If the nomenclature continues, then we will subsequently have Generation Gamma and Generation Delta.
Generation Alpha describes people born between 2010 and 2024 and is the most technologically advanced and globally connected generation in history. The name «Generation Alpha» is given to them because they do not return to the old, but begin a completely new era, the largest in history, born entirely in the new century.
Experts predict that Generation Alpha will be the most educated, technologically advanced and wealthy in history. They are more digital, global, mobile, social and visual than any generation before them. However, thanks to the development of technology, they can also be impatient and less able to live independently, which makes them more socially active and tolerant.
One of the key aspects of raising and training Generation Alpha is the use of modern technology. Smartphones, tablets, and the Internet have become an integral part of their daily lives. These children quickly learn new digital tools and easily navigate the online world.
Generation Alpha is not just the next generation after millennials; this is a new era of change and opportunity. They are dreamers of big dreams and strive for the happiness of their loved ones and the planet. The future of Generation Alpha is exciting – full of creativity, innovation and opportunity. Not only do they follow the positive example of older generations, but they also have the opportunity to take action, stand up for what they believe in, and forge a new path forward.
And we, as the creators of the Alpha Dominion cities of the future, are preparing to support this generation on their exciting path to the future by focusing on an innovative approach to learning and personal growth.
