They were born after

• The Reagan era

• The Persian Gulf War

• The walkman







Most of them were born after

• The breakup of the Soviet Union

• Tiananmen Square

• Compact Discs had been around for a decade.







They have never

• Played Pac Man or Pong

• Listened to an 8-track

• Purchased a vinyl album







• Seen a TV with less than 100 channels

• Heard “Where’s the Beef?”, “I’d walk a mile for a camel”, or “de plane, de plane.”







They’re Smart & Connected

..and very few have any formative recollection of the 20th century
