Gen Alpha

The digital natives redefining childhood.

- Dr Veena Adige

If there were any doubts about how difficult and smart Gen X is, one should see the confident, permanently connected Gen Alpha. Born entirely in the 21st century, they seem to have no connection with any of the previous generations. They are smart, confident, and have been born with electronics in their heads, eyes, fingers—in fact, their entire beings.

Also called the iGeneration or Gen Tech, these young ones are now around ten to twenty years of age. But do they sound like children? No, not at all. They are so smart and confident that they put even the senior most electronics experts to shame. They seem to have had no childhood at all. From babyhood to adulthood, their metamorphosis has been consistent.
