So unlocking a mobile device with ingenuity now makes one an ALPHA? Chaiii men have become so watered down to nothing sha.

Oga I am the master of thinking outside the box. I did more than that till I was banned from entering some places, till I turned cyber security dealer back when few people had laptops and I am still here with more terrible abilities. Oga make I no talk before I cast myself.

Alpha? then what do we call those men of earlier centuries who had zero fear in them and hunted animals by serious wisdom and super techniques? Those who created the first weapons and built the first cities? Those that controlled 10 thousand armies for years! I disagree abeg.
My theory: The people in that generation that are intelligent and did those things are a few.. in these alpha and coming beta generations, high intelligence will be a normal thing.. and then u will have some with extreme intelligence.. at the same time lack of endurance will be a normal thing unlike previous generations

Gen X, raising boys of Gen Z. Gen Z requires serious monitoring they are to corrupt even the local language.

It requires me issuing serious sanctions before my boys stop referring to a fall (Subu in Yoruba as O ja bo) fell off.

They are intelligent but extremely impatient.

Generations are typically categorized based on shared birth years and common life experiences. While there can be variations and overlap, here are some commonly recognized generations:

1. Silent Generation (The Builders): Born roughly between 1928 and 1945, the Silent Generation came of age during a period marked by significant global events like World War II and the Great Depression. They grew up in an era of economic hardship, instilling in them values of frugality, resilience, and a strong work ethic. As they matured, many became known for their traditional values, respect for authority, and commitment to duty.

2. Baby Boomers: Born approximately between 1946 and 1964, Baby Boomers represent a demographic surge following World War II. They grew up during a time of unprecedented prosperity and social change. Boomers witnessed and participated in significant cultural movements such as the civil rights era, the feminist movement, the counterculture of the 1960s, and the rise of television as a dominant cultural force. Their experiences shaped values of individualism, ambition, and social activism.

3. Generation X: Born roughly between 1965 and 1980, Generation X came of age in a period of economic uncertainty and social upheaval. They were the first generation to embrace technology as it rapidly evolved, witnessing the advent of personal computers, the internet, and mobile communication. Growing up in an era of shifting family structures, many Gen Xers value independence, adaptability, and scepticism toward institutions.

4. Millennials (Generation Y): Born approximately between 1981 and 1996, Millennials are characterized by their immersion in digital technology and globalization. They witnessed the rise of the internet, social media, and mobile devices, which profoundly influenced their communication styles and worldview. Millennials value diversity, collaboration, and work-life balance. They are often portrayed as socially conscious and environmentally aware, seeking purpose and fulfilment in their careers and personal lives.

5.Generation Z (Zoomers): Born roughly between 1997 and 2012, Generation Z is the first cohort to grow up entirely in the digital age. They are digital natives who are fluent in technology and social media platforms. Raised in an era of rapid change and global connectivity, Zoomers are known for their entrepreneurial spirit, social activism, and concern for social justice and environmental issues.

6.Generation Alpha: Born from 2013 onwards, Generation Alpha includes the children of Millennials and Generation Z. While still young, they are growing up in an increasingly connected and diverse world. Generation Alpha is expected to be highly technologically savvy, creative, and adaptable to change.

These generational labels are often used to analyse social trends, consumer behaviour, and cultural shifts, but it's important to remember that individuals within each generation are diverse and may not fit neatly into stereotypes. Additionally, definitions and boundaries of generations may vary depending on cultural and regional factors.
Nice thread.

Indeed, the FACTS below are succinctly stated for Gen X:
"We were the first generation to embrace technology as it rapidly evolved, witnessing the advent of personal computers, the internet, and mobile communication."


3. Generation X: Born roughly between 1965 and 1980, Generation X came of age in a period of economic uncertainty and social upheaval. They were the first generation to embrace technology as it rapidly evolved, witnessing the advent of personal computers, the internet, and mobile communication. Growing up in an era of shifting family structures, many Gen Xers value independence, adaptability, and scepticism toward institutions.

So, you're a Gen Z... I thought as much, but that's okay.

Indeed, I can be your "zaddy" right away as a Gen-Xer. Don't be shy, simply pull over and give "zaddy" a warm hug.*Smirk*
