My Demographics

The demographic I was born in is called "the millennials". We are the 83 million kids of the baby boomers born between 1977 and 2000. I got this quote from our online book and it says,
"One thing that all of the Millennials have in common is their utter fluency and comfort with digital technology. They do not just embrace technology, it is a way of life. The Millennials were the first generation to grow up in a world filled with computers, cellphones, satellite TV, iPods, and online social networks. A recent study found that 91 percent of Millennials are on the Web, making up 32 percent of all U.S. Internet users. According to another study, 77 percent of Millennials frequent social networking sites and 71 percent use instant messaging. “All generations are comfortable with technology, but this is the generation that’s been formed by technology,” says a Yahoo! executive. For them, “it is not something separate. It is just something they do.” I would have to say that I personally agree with this quote. For example, I've always had a TV and although our first internet was dial up, it was available to us as kids. It does seem like with all the new changes with technology it just comes naturally to us to automatically know how to work it. The older generations look to us for help when they do not know exactly what they are doing, I feel like our elders kind of frown upon us and our possibly over use of technology but I also think they fail to realize that it is a way of life for us and it is normal to the millennials.
