GENERATION X

Born between 1965 and 1980, now in their forties and fifties.

But this generation is adventurous and adaptable -they are not afraid of change. Now they use wearable technology to stay fit and healthy. Generation X believe in looking after themselves and staying young. 5
Generation X grew up with both parents at work during the day. This is one of the reasons they are independent.

Jane Roberts is a marine biologist. She worked for two years in Antarctica at the Amundsen Scott South Pole Station. Hundreds of people work there now there’s even a canteen, post office, and movie theatre.

Antarctica doesn’t belong to any country. About 30 countries have research stations there, and around 4,000 people live there in summer.

Jane worked on marine life research. She collected ice samples and studied them in the lab. Her team even found dinosaur remains! Their research showed that Antarctica was much warmer millions of years ago.

It was extremely cold sometimes 80°C so she wore many layers of clothes. In her free time, she read books and played games with friends. She didn’t miss home much, but she missed colours because everything was white.
