We had a discussion while in the kitchen today about generations.
Generation Z…
My granddaughter is a zoomer – Generation Z. She’s not happy with that – she thinks they’re known for being stupid. Not so… they’re the first generation never to know the world without the internet, they value diversity and finding their own unique identity. That sounds about right for her — maybe not zoomers as a whole.
Millennial…
My son is a stereotypical millennial. Termed digital natives, they are ‘generation ME.’ They prefer experiences and instant gratification. In a study by Microsoft, 77% of this generation answered yes to this statement, “When nothing is occupying my attention, the first thing I do is reach for my phone.” 🙄
Boomer…
Then you have me — a Boomer. I’m actually a Boomer II but am still described as the generation with a strong and focused worth ethic.
That’s why I spent the weekend feeding people and cleaning up after them. Miss Zoomer was too busy on the Internet and Mr. Millennial only cared about food in his belly — and his phone. 😉
TIL (Today I Learned): The pre-game military fly-overs conducted while the Star Spangled Banner plays at pro sports events is actually a planned training run for flight teams and doesn’t cost “extra” as many speculate, but is already factored into the annual training budget.
And… the Bengals lost today. Perry is heartbroken. 🙁
