Gen Alpha: the future kids |
Sometimes, I look at you Gen Alpha kids — the ones born from around 2010 all the way to the mid-2020s; growing up with screens and shortcuts for everything, and I’m honestly amazed at how different you are from the rest of us and then I can’t help but think you’ve landed here from the future.
One minute you’re just sitting there, staring at nothing, switching channels or doing your own thing; the next minute, you’re swiping through apps like a professional software developer, faster and smarter. You talk fast, think fast, jump from one topic to another like it’s nothing and somehow manage to understand things even we adults need a tutorial for.
And the funniest part? You don’t even realise how strange and brilliant you look to the rest of us (millennials and Gen Zs). You are expressive, but also confused at times, curious and therefore, mostly glued to screens. You’re all of these tiny contradictions walking around with emotions double your size and hands that somehow know how to use technology better than the people who invented it. Isn’t it?
So yeah… when we talk about Gen Alpha, we’re not just talking about kids. We’re talking about a completely new version of childhood and that’s what this whole article is about.
Gen Alpha, you’re not just the kids of today; you are geniuses, sharp, with extraordinarily intuitive and somehow more grown-up than you should ever have to be. So come join, it’s all about you!
