But we don’t nicate in the same way. People born at different 2s hse acon ste cere Born before 1945, ‘Veterans’ are the oldest and most experienced members of society. They think that family life is important and prefer traditional forms of communication ‘Veterans’ are the richest generation, possibly because they worked hard and were loyal employees. a A large number of babies were born after 1945. (In the USA, the peak of the baby boom was in 1957, when eight babies ‘were born every minute!) This increase in births was called a ‘boom’, which gave the name to a generation. These people have money and good jobs. Many are in ‘positions of power. They are optimists and like face-to-face communication. Generation X’ was bom after 1965. They are independent thinkers and want to be different from their parents. They have seen the introduction of the home computer, video games, satellite TV and, of course, the internet, so they are good at adapting to changes. This generation is busy ~ they don't want to wait to hear what you say. SEs ‘Millennials’ were born after 1980. They ‘re confident, they like computers, and ork well in teams.
