Millennials, also known as Generation Y or the Net Generation, are the
demographic cohort that directly follows Generation X.
Overall, the earliest proposed birthdate for Millennials is 1976 and the
latest 2004. Given that a familial generation in developed nations lies
somewhere between 25 and 30 years, we might reasonably consider
those the start and end points.
There is a great deal of variation from one individual to another within
any generational cohort. Nevertheless, the particular environment for
any generation affects those individuals in ways that are observable as
broad tendencies. This definition of the term discusses those reported
tendencies for Millennials in the workplace, Millennials and technology,
Millennials and culture.
Millennials grew up with computers, the Internet and the graphical user
interface (GUI). This familiarity makes them adept at understanding
interfaces and visual languages. They tend to adjust readily to new
programs, operating systems (OS ) and devices and to perform
computer-based tasks more quickly than older generations. Although its
been proven that multitasking is not usually an effective way to work,
Millennials may be the employees that are most likely to pull it off.
