How modern children differ from previous generations

The world is changing rapidly, and this is reflected in the lives of each of us. And the younger a person is, the easier it is for him to allow these changes into his life. So it's no surprise that demographers see the new generation of children born after 2010 as completely new and unlike anything else. What is the difference between these guys and those who are older?

And today's edition. "Site" talk about how they are connected Modern technologies and child development. These children are probably the most unusual in the history of mankind, but what future awaits them in this case?





Representatives of the new generation know how to use gadgets from the first years of life, and therefore they get used to freedom of choice very early, learn to express their preferences. The norm was that by 2 years of life, the child masters games on a tablet, and by 3-4 even has a personal gadget.





At the same time, the modern digital world is so developed that children do not share reality and virtuality. The reason for this is that the picture on the screen looks more and more like what is really around us in life.

Children get answers to many questions early, grow up earlier and understand how life works faster. They watch vlogs, where they observe the lives of others, and they are more willing to share experiences, even with strangers. The need to embellish reality disappears.





Today’s parents are more aware of their responsibilities than they were in their childhood. They spend more time with children, adhere to modern methods of education, also use gadgets and the Internet. This helps young parents and children to be on the same wavelength, easy to find a common language.

It is believed that the young representatives of the Alpha generation value transparency and openness more, they subtly feel deception. And if you cheat a child, he will understand this, will not soon forgive.

The younger generation also has high moral standards. Children take environmental issues, animal extinctions, or resource depletion to heart. This makes them grow into conscious people who are constantly thinking about the future of society.





However, the younger generation does not concentrate on the perception of information. Of course, when you're processing that much data every day, the brain has to learn to somehow weed out the right and the unnecessary, the interesting and the uninteresting. Therefore, there are only a couple of seconds to interest the child, otherwise it will switch attention to more interesting things.

Therefore, experts predict that the percentage of people who received higher education will greatly decrease.

They will have to solve a lot of global problems. Will they be able to cope with all the challenges with their disadvantages and advantages? For now, we can only hope for a positive response.
