A screaming child who had his iPad taken might come to your mind. Alpha Kids are reportedly not doing well in school and many are subject to the algorithms of today. They will have a front row seat to the future we are headed towards.

Do you have hope that Generation Alpha will live happy and fulfilling lives?

    As far as I can tell they’re set for marketing reasons, but they actually represent meaningful epochs and how those events effected people in different stages of life.

    World war, depression, postwar expansion, civil rights, cold war, internet, smartphone.

    Making them all fifteen or twenty-five years doesn’t make sense.

      Is this a “plans are useless but the act of planning is invaluable” kind of thing?

      Like arbitrary 15 years increments is basically worthless but you end up with a collection of meaniful epochs inside of those limited frames that it has value again?
