X,Y,Z

Baby Boomers, then Gen x who develops an interest in using technology to adhere to their lifestyle, and then comes Gen Y the technology gerneration that uses it for every aspect of their lives, and now the emerging gerneration, Z. They may not be older than 13 yet but they are growing and they will be like no other generation before. One of the  main differences will be found in the fact that compared to other gerenations they will have no knowledge of a time before without technoloogy, "how did people live without a blackberry and laptop in the dark ages?"

I'm not saying all this to sound old, at only 19, but to express a sort of sadness for the gen Z's that are approaching this world. We can only hope that their parents will give the same values and teach them the things we  know without technology. Yes, technology has improved the world in so many way but how much as it made us seem just a bit lazy? There is a gadget for every simple thing we need to do in our lives, new products for  marketers, and new reasons for companies to charge for something we "need" to have. The gen z's will grow up assuming everything is done by a robot.

On one hand I'm nervous and sad for this upcoming generation but on the other hand as a fashion major I see how businesses and this world has no choice to catch up to these technological times and I'm exited to see what the gen z gernerationers will do with it.
