Gen A?
Comment on Ok, thanks...
ColeSloth@discuss.tchncs.de 3 weeks agoGen A got left behind on spelling and grammar. Too much of it that they use is automated, they find grammar to be lame, and thanks to our “pass kids or lose funding” system of public schools they all just get to coast through while not really learning much.

Alpha, the one after Gen Z, which is after Millennials, which is after Gen X, which was named that not because it was the 24th, but because they didn’t have a good name so they used X as a placeholder for an unknown name.
Generations are slightly bullshit tho. Birthdate definitely matters, but it more of a continuum / spectrum than discrete generations.

There’s definite bleed over , and the differences are loose generalities than facts, but there’s definite patterns that emerge between music, fashion, and technology.
Like how gen Z and especially A can’t really use computers or understand file structure well, or that mellennials are the last gen who mostly know cursive. Or blow anti bully gen z is compared to earlier gens.

There’s a huge divide in computer literacy between first and second half gen Z.

They should name the next generation gen Y because they missed it. It wont create any confusion at all

Gen Y was renamed once a cultural event/experience name took hold (Millennial). I was expecting the same happen to “Gen Z” but that could still come in time.

Not to put too fine a point on it but whose fault is that?

Danged gen z/late millennial parents not teaching their kids the alphabet before/during kindergarten.

Gen Alpha started in 2010, dude. Some of them are 15 at this point.
