Last week I received a call from two girls from a local university, I had been contacted to give my anthropological perspective on the generation "Inter- gen ", which would become" Internet-Generational "children today are between 8 and 12 years, born between 2000 and 2004, the digital natives, for them the Internet has always been.
I agreed to interview the students without hesitation, I spent a few days meditating, reading and talking Bauman around with people who have children of these ages, without intending to, I ended up more interested in the issue of generations. And although it is a more sociological and anthropological can only categorize certain urban population, there are patterns that cut across the company to explain a bit the characteristics of each generation, a concept very gringo of course, but with that of globalization applied in other companies and can provide guidelines to explain behavior.
Some sociologists are based on certain moments in history for a generation that has begun and another generation has completed, a somewhat elastic border, for example, all were born from the seventies Generation X is considered, then the eighties will be the Generation Y and noventeros until well into the 21 st century are considered Generation Z. Each country will have its generations, and ways to categorize them in El Salvador say they are "children of war" for the generation that lived through civil war, and "post-war children" born to skirting almost agreements 1992 peace.
But now we face a different generation, digital natives, for them the Internet and globalization have always been, if the media are eminently generation Z, the Inter-gen are even more so, and as now being formed will the decade of the 20-10 and social events (influenced by the generation X) given its characteristics.
Since we can anticipate and say that will be the generation-tablet, by the end of the decade will be mostly laptops tablet, they can read digital books without the prejudices of those who have known and learned to read paper books, they are absolutely dedicated to graphical interfaces. The concepts of copy, paste, drag and send will be your daily bread, also share files without transferring them by physical means.
will be able to reduce issues and events of his life to 140 characters (as is currently the Twitter) and indicates their ability to synthesize, are the minimalists of written language, which I guess will generate new contractions and abbreviations of our languages.
With a more global, will be very sensitive with respect to animal rights, environmental awareness and events that happen across the world, but show a real ignorance to know what is happening around the corner in the countryside or in poor neighborhoods where even cooked beans.
decontextualized from the past, living a continuous present, where no matter the future, rather than digital progress and the happiness that we deliver the mass media productions, these children today will be the generation that will tell us a few years old and we will send to an asylum.
