It can now be seen that Millennials provide benefits to employers in the workplace (Alsop, 2008). Millennials bring different characteristics to the working environment, regardless of their stereotypes. Their use of technology can be utilized as a positive attributed and thus an impact on their success. Millennials are also seeking a coaching or mentoring environment through reverse mentoring. The impact Millennials will have in the workplace is one of success and the desire to work better, but they also need positive reinforcement. Millennials are also seeking an environment where they have different benefits than prior generations thereby leading to increased productivity. Employers can work with this generation by providing reverse mentoring possibilities. Flex time schedules and more communication with their supervisors as well as...

...Name Instructor Course Date Effects of Advanced Technology on Teenagers In the modern day, technology advancements are constantly perceived through everyday life. There more and more services available for example, portable Internet, cell phones, iPods, laptop computers, 3D TVs among others (Clinton 24). Technology appears to possess a lot of detriments; however, it also has a more positive impact on the society. In some of the situation, Internet has negative consequences when it comes to sociability. Therefore, this paper aims at informing the reader about both negative and positive impacts of technology on teenagers. Specifically, the research focuses on how teens use it to share information, raise their grievances, and how it helps them in their academic process. About negative impacts, it will be imperative to center the research on how technology causes violence, social barrier, health issues, and addiction as well as dependence. According to Clinton, a journalist at the CNN investigates the explosive growth of the social media and Internet. Clinton relays on his knowledge and numerous statistics to develop his argument about the use and impact of technology on teenagers and children. Clinton also acknowledges the massive growth of technological gadgets such as Smartphones. The author says that one of the immense impacts of technology on teens is the use of the Internet that offers numerous positive opportunities. Primarily, the Internet makes information...

...Our generation is the iPod generation, the cell phone generation, and the Facebook generation one that speaks through technology. That is how our voices are heard: through texts, messages and blogs. Pew Internet and American Life Project reports that 75 percent of teens own cell phones and 87 percent use the Internet. When faced with a room containing strangers, many of us don't even look up from our phones long enough to see the people around us let alone communicate with them. We believe our voices can be heard by those all across the world. And more important, our methods of communication, because they're saved somewhere on the Internet, are immortal. They never go away. With the Internet and books, our ideas and words remain forever. What about the power of these words and ideas? What impact do they have? How many of us truly stop to ponder these questions before updating our Facebook statuses or sending texts? Considering there are more than a billion texts sent every day, the number of teens who do is most likely small. As for the 42 percent of teens who could potentially text blindfolded, according to Mobl21, they probably don't even read the texts that they send. According to a survey by CTIA: The Wireless Association, 57 percent of teens believe their cell phones have enhanced their lives. The cell phone technology has improved our generation's ability to maintain contact with guardians and family members. However, mostly, I believe technology has let the words of...

...Our Generation People visualize the future in a different ways. Some see larger technological advances while others might see more peaceful people. Conclusively, this may lead to the ongoing debate as to whether the Generation Y has a role in America’s future. Consider that our children and teenagers are the adults of tomorrow. I would argue that they do have an impact. Future generations have a role in our country to fill that gaps of people that have passed or that can't work anymore. This becomes a matter of how we use this power to impact society. Despite the fact, the generation is highly capable of producing politicians, a hands-on community, and great leaders, how those will choose to fill the gaps cannot be predicted. Every generation leaves an impression on our future, despite whether it is a negative impression or a positive one. This lasting impression is mostly referred to as generational potency. By obtaining new tools and opportunities from the mistakes and triumphs of those who came before them, every generation tries to make themselves heard. Therefore, the concept of generational potency is something that largely exists in our great nation. As Tamara Erickson said, “The truth is, without even trying, you will bring fresh perspectives to work because many of the ways you approach problems are different from the way it has always been done” (Erickson, 2008). Everyone has a different outlook obtained from the knowledge you gain from past experiences and...

...about three generations of people over the span of approximately fifty years. The articles and books suggest that there is a strong connection between generations in relation to their experiences, worldviews and beliefs. The information gathered for this research paper is consistent across sources. The paper examines how much each generation influenced the other as its members traveled through their life cycle. Researchers have determined that every generation has a specific characteristic that distinguishes it from the other. In short, the overall effect one generation has on the other depends on circumstances that existed during that period. We will examine generations referred to as Baby boomers, Generation X and Millennials and how their history helped to shape the world today. It is clear that these three generations are distinct in terms of their experiences, worldviews and beliefs. However, it is also evident that history shaped the development of each group, allowing the generation that followed to benefit from earlier periods in history, creating pockets of similarities across the decades. Experiences in their lifetimes The Baby Boomer Generation is the name given to persons born between “1947 and 1966” and was seen as the last generation that effected any great changes on American society. This generation was distinguishable by a significant increase in birth rates following World War II and is seen as one of the largest generations in the U.S. ...

...see that both positive and negative impacts could arise for environmental management in 2070. Foremost is the importance that a growing population could have on the environment. With many negative, as well as positive impacts that can have an effect on the environment, a growing population could pose a hazardous risk. It is therefore of vital significance to have an environmental management system in place, as well as a younger generation with the knowledge of the importance of environmental management, both its nature and its purpose. With the improvement of technology, the world could see a considerable trend toward the development of environmental management, and therefore a substantial change toward the enhancement of the environment. As the world steps towards a ‘greener’ and more sustainable future, technologies improvements could heed anything from renewable energy sources to waste management sources to technologies reducing the impact on the environment, to name a few. This could greatly aid to the manner in which environmental management is carried...

...Smart Phone Technology Paradigm Shift Introduction: * “A smartphone is a mobile phone built on a mobile operating system, with more advanced computing capability and connectivity than a feature phone.” (Wikipedia.) The operating systems that generated with the smartphones are the Symbian, Blackberry (RIM), Android, IOS (Apple), Windows Phone, Palm OS, and Bada. Impact One: * Social networking is one of the most things that impacted the smartphone industry over the years. Once it became for use on the smartphone market, it became an epidemic and people became glued to their phone not only for talking or texting. But, for enjoying the Facebook, twitter, instagram, and other social network sites. It became popular fast once it became useful at the end of everybody fingertips. (Smartphone and Tablets: Economic Impacts.) Impact Two: * Smartphones are also impacting negatively on family, business and social relationships. According to, Prophetic Blogger, “People are continually spending more and more time fiddling with their iPhone, android or windows phones and ignoring others around them.” With that being said, the smartphone generation are relying more and more on technology to do the thinking for them. As the years continue to go on, the technology being used in smartphones today would be obsolete. Impact Three: * Now on a positive direction, according to David A. Vautin, smartphone technology not only improves the connectivity from one device to another, but...

...Simões, L. e Gouveia, L. (2008). Consumer Behaviour of the Millennial Generation. III Jornadas de Publicidade e Comunicação. A Publicidade para o consumidor do Séc. XXI. UFP. Porto. 10 de Abril. Consumer Behaviour of the Millennial Generation Luís Simões1, Luís Borges Gouveia2 1 PhD Student (Information Science), Fernando Pessoa University (lsimoes@ufp.pt) 2 Associate Professor, Fernando Pessoa University (lmbg@ufp.pt) In this paper we present an integrative view of Millennials’ consumer behaviour. After applying some classical models based on the traditional “information-processing paradigm”, we concluded that only a framework that takes into account the impact of the culture and lifestyle surrounding Millennials is useful to derive guidelines on how to make successful advertising campaigns aimed at this population. The paper concludes with some recommendations on how to be able to reach this segment of consumers. I. Millennials as Consumers Advertisements targeting children and adolescents tend to have a profound impact on this population. Brands try to obtain lifelong loyalties by connecting with teens that will thereafter develop strong identity feelings with those brands. In a study carried out in 1999, with 5-9 year-old students in Dutch schools it was found that 52% of the children referred brand names when asked what gifts they wanted for Christmas (McNeal, 1999). In another study it was also found that the child's first request for a product occurs...
