The next generation of babies will be known as Generation Alpha...
By Peter Petterson
This year reportedly heralds the start of a new chapter: Babies born in the next 15 years are to be known as Generation Alpha. And it is claimed they will be set to become the largest generation ever, as we are expected to experience a birthrate spike much larger than the post- WW2 baby boom. According to social researcher, Mark McCrindle, the name was selected because, just as in science, once the Latin alphabet was exhausted they moved onto Greek letters."This generation is likely to be the most formerly educated in history." he said. They will be expected to to begin schooling earlier and study for longer. Brought up in an era of information overload, they will be expected to be even more tech-savvy and materialistic than their predecessors, Gen Z - a frightening thought for some people. Another self-centered "me" generation may be too much to anticipate, let alone tolerate. As an early baby-boomer I will not have to put up with such a generation of over-indulged, self indulged spoilt brats for too long, as I lay back in my rocking chair, enjoying the late afternoon sun.
