Millennials have had a bad rap over the past years. It seems that the social norms of millennials are uninspired and inattentive to those around them. When it comes to paying attention, it's to their phones or staying on social media all day; so the stereotypes say. Why wouldn't millennials be the future's hope for new innovation? I mean, they have the most tools to be the most educated in any generation, and they are already exposed and adapted to learn new technology in a flash.
In Jason Haber's article, it distinguishes the social stereotypes that society has seen in the Millennials. That they are ruining our future for their lack of ambition and drive; to a more hopeful/realistic idea of the future. In the article, he describes the traits that Millennials have either mastered or have been exposed to certain things whether they know it or not.
The idea of collaboration for example; is a great observation that only Millennials have an advantage in. Millennials have been exposed to the most equal playing ground are open to learn and collaborate with more people of different ethnicity and age groups.
Another great advantage for them is the fact that they grew up with the internet! Believe it or not, ther was a time where people had to wait hours and hours to load up a Youtube video. Nowadays, google have become a huge resource for searching articles and other scholar websites. They have Wikapedia to get ideas for their projects. They have tutors that can just talk to you through chat when you're stuck on something!
I truly believe that this article is on to something. Millennials are the best pathway for new innovation in the market nowadays.
