Generation Z does not distinguish between the real and the virtual world
A typical conversation of parent and child of his generation Z:
- HI!
- Father, why are you shouting?

- I'm calling on their APPLE CLOCK! THAT'S COOL!
- Dad, you must hold the clock in millimeters from the face. Put your hand and talk.
- How was your day?
- You're still shouting. Put your wrist and talk.
Generation Z is living in another world, where due to rapid scientific and technical progress of the barriers between the physical and the virtual world almost collapsed. We call it fidzhital-world.
Today you can buy something like in-store and online. You can write and send an ordinary letter, or you can send an e-mail message. You can work in the office or remotely. And so on. Choice - it's fine, but its presence gives rise to many disputes. As a rule, they boil down to the clarification of the question as to which solution is better - virtual or real.

- Well!

- I love you, but not all songs. It would be better Grempsy gave me a gift certificate to iTunes, so I could put together your own playlist.
Like every generation, the generation Z has faced teenage insecurity, a desire to "find their game" and the simultaneous desire to demonstrate its uniqueness. There are things that never change. Generation Z but is much easier to create a whole presentationWhich makes them stand out from the crowd, because they were brought up in a highly personalized world.

When millenialy were in the age of the current generation Z, they are filled with optimism and self-confidence. They had planned to be the next Mark Zuckerberg, save the world, or at least create a startup, which is supposed great future. And sincerely believed that they were precisely the generation which will succeed.
Older generations enjoyed their credo "nothing is impossible" (and still like), so they encouraged him in every way, especially their idealistic parents boomers. However, deep down, most parents knew that at some point in their career millenialam have to face the reality.
This usually happens when the responsibilities of children begins to go beyond the "just get up out of bed and come to work on time."
Nothing helps to understand that you're not Mark Zuckerberg, and you have neither the time nor the resources to founding a startup as the need to pay the mortgage for the house or save money for education children.
But millenialov the belief that they will succeed, was a sufficient motivator to even get out of bed and try.
Teenage dreams about how we will become president and chief financial tycoons and earn millions, have given way to fears nothing at all to achieve in life. In order to survive, and even thrive, it is better to look at things in a sober and be realistic.
Opinion of Gen Z
With the arrival of Generation Z has formed a new, more robust look at the career and leadership, with this happened long before his entry into the labor market.
What should learn from Generation Z: realistic approach to life.
Generation Z suffers from the syndrome of lost profits
From the latest news from around the world to information on who gets invited to the prom, Generation Z knows everything and always. This is not surprising, given that they get their information not less than five screens simultaneously. With a TV, laptop screen, desktop, tablet, and of course, your mobile phone - any information, figuratively speaking, is to click away.
Be in contact - for generation Z is like breathing.
Such access to information have all generations today, not only the Z, but the older generation still remember the days when he was not limited to a single click. Traditionalists, Boomers, Generation X, and even millenialy can tell, they had to wait for the latest information updates, and they have done much less frequently than now. Other generations also appreciate access to information and technical innovations, but they were less dependent on them, compared with the generation Z.
My generation does not know the world in which there would be no possibility of connecting to the Internet or access to any information. Having access to information and contact with peers for us as air. When we are not in touch, we feel that something is wrong.
Opinion of Gen Z
Together with permanent access is generated and constant dependence on everyone and everything around. Generation Z know that, even if they are disconnected from the network, the Earth all the same continue to rotate around the axis. This creates a constant desire to be informed about events that over time more and more difficult to implement.
Fear of missing something makes us all the time to monitor their accounts. According to a national survey, 44% of Gen Z check their accounts in social networks at least once per hour, and 7% - more than once every fifteen minutes. Interestingly, one of the five representatives of the generation Z frequently updates its band on Twitter, than reading it.
Opinion of Gen Z
Generation Z - this generation "do it yourself"
A typical conversation of parent and child of his generation Z:
- I do not need a tutor!
- Jonah, do you really think that it is better to prepare for the ACT test, viewing videos on YouTube?
- Why not?
- It is not so easy. You need a professional tutor.
- Father, on YouTube there are hundreds of videos on the ACT!
- I just think that we should not risk it.
- And what I risk?
- To fill up testing.
- Listen... if Julius Yego learned to throw a javelin thanks to YouTube, and then won the world championships, probably, and I'm able to draw out useful information for the delivery of AST. I can take a test well, and I do not need a tutor.
Generation Z can be called truly a generation of "do it yourself". Athletes who won the world championship, as the Kenyan Julius Yego - autodidact whose only coach was the YouTube, - sharply raised the bar value of the expression "do it yourself".
For the rest of the concept of "do it yourself" is mainly related to household exploits on the field of repair, or possibly with the art and craft projects. But Generation Z on everything, including a career, looking through the prism of this principle.
What should learn from Generation Z: faith in their own strength.
More details about the representatives of Generation Z, their characteristics, significant differences from millenialov, habits, motivations, attitudes and career success can be found in the book "Generation Z at work. How to understand and find a common language with him, "David Stillman.
