The Millennial
Attention Span« too late. Millennials (Gen Y) born in 1982 or later , and in some cases they
have never known the world without the internet!
Computers aren¶t technology
Remember when you got a cordless telephone?
Younger generation is drawn to interactive input/output devices
as a result of frantic pace of innovation. ³Here is my new cell
phone go figure it out´.
They must try things. The digital world, failure is not costly. Just
start again or reboot. Multitask ± they can talk to you and text at the same time.

Gen X
The generation after Boomers, called Gen X, rebelled against the larger-than-life lifestyle and turned to simpler , smaller ways of living with a
focus on the pleasures of family, community and socialization.
While the Boomers found endless satisfaction through the pressures of
competitive consumption, Gen Xers turned to music, art, design and the
enjoyment of socialized communal creativity.
Gen X is known for their cynicism. It¶s this rebellious nature that has
helped bring change forward.

Gen Y
Gen Y and younger are embracing, sharing and giving throughcreative community engagements and experiences.
Gen Y expect great treatment as they enter the work force.
³What do you mean you don¶t have a cell phone plan for me and I
can¶t ski on Mondays and work at 2:00 am?????´
Gen Y is open to multiple access points of change.

How to communicate & engage
It¶s all about communication, if you want to communicate properly you mustknow first who you are talking to.
Use VIDEO!!! Hang on I will tell you why..
Engagement is the key to the message«..Fragmented minds
At work and at play, information-overload is here to stay. We¶ve never beenquicker to skim, skip, filter and tune-out.
Passive V.S. Active
Question ³How many of you have cut cable and are purely online?´
Be real, Millennial¶s value authenticity
