Generation Z

Generation Z is a term used to refer to the group of people born between 1996 and 2010. They're the youngest members of our society and they're very different from people of other generations. Gen Zers (as they're sometimes called) are very tech-savvy and they're used to having access to technology and information at their fingertips. They're often the first to adopt the latest technology trends and are very familiar with the internet, social media, and mobile devices. They tend to be more connected to each other than other generations because of their use of technology. They're independent, like to challenge the status quo, and prefer to express themselves in their own unique ways. They are also more interested in making a difference in the world than previous generations were.
