Generations
by: Jean Twenge
The Real Differences Between Gen Z, Millennials, Gen X, Boomers, and Silents—and What They Mean for America’s Future
Scott Oeltjen
Generations by Jean Twenge, challenges the traditional notion that historical events shape generations. Instead, she argues that technology is the primary factor.
By analyzing data on millions of Americans, Twenge explores how generations differ in areas such as mental health, politics, and substance use. She examines six generations: the Silent Generation, Baby Boomers, Gen X, Millennials, iGen (Twenge’s term for those born after 1995), and the Polars (born after 2012).
The book delves into how these groups interact, compete, and influence America’s future, all through the lens of their unique technological upbringing.
Predicting how the next generation will consume and utilize technology can be difficult. However, history reminds us that technological advancements can have both positive and negative consequences.
This audiobook resonated with many aspects of my generation, offering a valuable understanding of our technological upbringing and its potential implications.
