right now millenials also referred to as
Generation Y are the generational group
who follow Generation X and are
typically categorized as people born
between 1980 to the mid-1990s
Millennials are also sometimes referred
to as Echo Boomers due to a major surge
in birth rates in the 1980s and 90s
generation Z or Gen Z is the
generational group that came after the
millenials born between the mid 1990s up
to the mid 2000s Generation Z is also
referred to as the I generation ijen or
post Millennials how do these
generations compare that's what we'll be
looking at today in this episode of the
infographic show Millennials versus
Generation Z
though these two groups sit side-by-side
on the generation ladder the expansion
of the internet and the leaps that have
been made with the digital revolution
has seen them exposed to a host of
different experiences add to that the
influence of parents from different
generations and we have plenty of scope
for differences in attitude and behavior
we reviewed what researchers have said
so we can bring you our list of 10 ways
these generations compare and differ
let's take a look
number 1 attention span generation z
processes information faster than any
other generation including Millennials
they live in a high-tech world of
constant updates and having grown up
with access to apps such as vine and
snapchat their attention span is likely
to be lower than that of Millennials a
study showed that while only 4% of
Millennials and older generations
believe 13 is an OK age for owning a
smartphone as high as 18% of generation
Z members think it is an okay age number
2 multitasking a short attention span is
not always a drawback and what
generation Z lack in focus they make up
for in their multitasking capabilities
generation Z can work on a school
assignment on their computer and do
research on their tablet all while
taking notes and in the evening they
will often sit in front of the TV
watching a movie at the same time
chatting with a friends on Facebook from
their phone or laptop
it's head-spinning stuff number three
independent versus collaborative 71% of
Generation Z say they live by the phrase
if you wanted
right and do-it-yourself generation Z
tend to be more competitive and will
adopt a do-it-yourself mindset in
personal or professional activities and
when it comes to workspaces 69 percent
of Generation Z would rather have their
own workspace than share it with others
whereas millenials would opt for a
collaborative working environment where
they can team up with their colleagues
number for the digital pioneers 40% of
Generation Z say that reliable Wi-Fi is
more important than reliable bathrooms
and according to Pew Research only 14
percent of US adults had access to the
Internet in 1995 but by 2014 87 percent
had access millenials saw firsthand how
social media revolutionized the way in
which we communicate they were pioneers
in the digital age witnessing the birth
of smartphones instant messaging and
internet searching capability generation
Z were born into this tech immersed
society and so have a very different
perspective
number five face to face or digital chat
all this technology has also had an
effect on how these generations differ
with communication habits and 74% of
Generation Z say they prefer to
communicate face-to-face with colleagues
in the workplace as we just mentioned
Millennials pioneered many of the
digital communication tools which
revolutionized how we do business but
with generation Z preferring a more
personal approach maybe they are the
ideal generation to strike the right
balance between online and offline
workplace communications number six
optimistic vision a 2016 survey
conducted by Lincoln Financial Group
tells us that generation Z are far more
optimistic than the Millennials 50
percent of Generation Z say America is
heading in the right direction
vs. 42 percent of Millennials 64 percent
of Gen Z have started researching or
talking to others about their financial
futures by age 13 and after they've
started having those conversations 95
percent of those making financial plans
feel optimistic about their future in
general number 7 convenience / brands
Accenture research tells us that
generation Z love tech driven fast
shopping experiences like one-hour
delivery activated shopping and in-store
kiosks brands are less important and
they'll happily switch retailers who are
better at providing these services and
they see shopping as a social experience
they like to consult friends and get
opinions on products it can be
unforgiving when leaving reviews for
retailers and are also twice as likely
to consult YouTube as millenials before
making a purchase number 8 different
ways of learning seventy-five percent of
Generation Z say there are other ways of
getting a good education other than the
traditional route of going to college
according to sparks and honey research
and generation Z has the beauty of
hindsight on their side to see how
things panned out for their counterparts
many Millennials now have large student
debts and have been left questioning
whether it was worth it with 44 percent
of recent college grads employed in jobs
that do not require a degree number 9
tolerance Millennials tend to be more
tolerant than Generation Z as they have
generally encountered more situations in
life where things have the potential to
go wrong for Generation Z it's all about
getting the job done and problems for
them usually mean it's time to look
elsewhere as an example of generation Z
experienced a technical hitch when
making an online purchase it's unlikely
they'll visit that store again
whereas millenials will be more lenient
and likely give the store a second
chance and finally number 10 social
influencers are today's celebrities
Generation Z are more likely to be
browsing YouTube than sitting in a movie
theater 63 percent of them say they
prefer to see real people than celebs in
their ads so it's pretty obvious we've
probably got a large percentage of
generation Z viewers here at the
infographic show but whether you're Gen
