Z ՍԵՐՈՒՆԴ
Ծնված են 1995 թվականից մինչև հիմա։ Z սերունդը լավ է միաժամանակ մի քանի գործ անել։ Նրանք կարող են միաժամանակ օգտագործել մի քանի էկրաններ 30 անգամ, և այդ պատճառով էլ նրանց անվանում են էկրանային էկրաններ օգտագործողներ։ Նրանք արագ մտածող են, և երբ ինչ-որ բան արագ չի կատարվում, նրանք անհամբեր են դառնում։ Z սերունդը «մենք» սերունդն է։ Նրանք չափազանց շատ չեն մտածում իրենց մասին։ Դրա փոխարեն նրանք կենտրոնանում են գլոբալ խնդիրների վրա, ինչպիսիք են ահաբեկչությունը և գլոբալ տաքացումը։ Նրանք շփվող են և վայելում են ընկերների հետ շփվելը սոցիալական ցանցերում, բայց կարող են նաև շատ միայնակ զգալ։ Z սերունդը սիրում է գնալ համերգների կամ զվարճանքի այգիներ։ Ութսուն տոկոսը նախընտրում է ժամանակ անցկացնել ընկերների հետ անձամբ, քան հեռախոսով կամ առցանց։ 35 Z սերունդը հավատում է լավ կրթություն ստանալուն, բայց անհանգստանում է համալսարանի վճարների համար։ Այս սերունդը հավակնոտ է և ցանկանում է սկսել իր սեփական բիզնեսը։ 40 Z սերունդը չի հետաքրքրվում, թե որտեղից եք կամ ինչ մաշկի գույն ունեք։ Երաժշտությունը նրանց օրվա անբաժանելի մասն է կազմում։ 9
