Week Three EOC: My Demographics


While my generation has several different names including; Millennial Generation, Generation Y, Generation We, or The Global Generation, one thing remains the same, we are the better than previous generations in some ways and ultimately worse in others. 50 is the median of text messages sent every day. I, in a day, send at most 5. A generation that seems to value money, fame and image. I, however, value hard work, honesty and commitment. I don’t see the point in spending so much time imaging how celebrities live and what they wear. I have no interest in being famous, I would like to earn enough money to where I can see travel and/or help take care of my family, and all I care about my image is that I come off as the person I really am and not some shallow shell of a person.  Idealistic in terms of their own career aspirations and their hopes for the world. I personally know where I want to end up in life, how to get there and have an idea of what it's going to take to get me there. While one the other hand I think the world is headed for hell and we're just along for the ride. We are the most technological generation. It also can pose as a problem when it consumes you to the point of obsession. You have people joking about a zombie apocalypse, but it you honestly takes a second and look around it is already here. You have people who are glued to their phones and not interacting with anyone unless it’s through the device. Most economically desirable consumer demographic because of their current and future spending power. I believe this is true as just now the Baby Boomers are heading in to retirement.
