I find this a bit naive, Hannah. For every successful KZfaqr or influencer, there are more than a thousand KZfaqrs that don't make it. So how do those Gen Z people survive if they are not willing to study or work? I am also against classifying people as either native digital or native analog. There is already enough polarization in this world, and everybody should be free to choose the lifestyle they want..

I am forty and one of the older Millenials. My friends can build and configure their computers from scratch and jailbreak their phones, if needed. Most younglings I know are screwed when Instagram doesn't open anymore. I don't want to generalize, but I think that if someone was birthed into the digital age, that doesn't automatically mean they also mastered it.

I'm 22 years old and it's not true all the thing she said about Gen Z. Doesn't matter the age for being an entrepreneur or CEO of a company. It's more important other factors like the context, the culture, the conditions, etc. The age is a secondary factor.

Every time I walk into Walmart I see the Native Digitals constantly checking their phones while they should been stocking shelves. Not everyone can sit on their butts and expect everyone else to adjust to them. Someone needs to do the work and it's a scary thought that you will one day out number the Analogs.

I am not Gen Z, but I can tell you that respect and kindness go a long way, even if you see no immediate benefit or don’t understand someone, regardless of age. People are different. Not everyone is like us. We have to be ok with that if we are to be successful collaborators and professionals as adults.

One thing I would disagree with this woman about is her idea that Gen Z are the first people in human history to be integrated with machines/technology. Disabled people have been integrated with machines for centuries ( for instance many people in wheelchairs see the wheelchair as an extension of their own body). While it’s true that wheelchairs, braces and other disability assists (even glasses) aren’t seen as technology today, when they were first made they were new innovations. I think disabled people should be at the forefront of STEM development (especially when it involves “merging” with machines) because we know and have known what is to have a mechanical device be part of your body and can offer a better into making technology more “human friendly “ among other things, because we’ve had to be part of type of technology since practically the beginning of humanity.

Interesting perspective. Maybe I need to dive into it more, but I do not think I agree. I am a millennial, and thus also a native digital. I feel like people under 30 are not one generation. I see a lot of difference between mine and Gen Z. I did grow up with computers, but not with smartphones, youtube and social media (okay, we had MSN and for Dutchies, Hyves). There is also a difference between USA and Europe (where I live). I do not see the trend of people not going to university. And I do not think that many people can be entrepreneurs. We also need teachers, people in healthcare, etc. This is a perspective I see in people on youtube, but not around me, I don’t know, maybe I am just as analog as people over 35…

Thank you so much for sharing. I am a 50 year-old mother of four. You have helped me understand my children in a way I do not believe I would have been able to otherwise. Thank you.

There is a binary difference between an entrepreneur and someone who wants to be an entrepreneur. Interesting talk though.

Maybe a camping trip?? I can say, that I thank whatever higher enlightenment is out there, that I didn't grow up being a digital native. It's everything we're not supposed to be. I'm so so thankful for that.

When the digital natives rule, how will they they mass produce analog sneakers, pants, underwears, food etc for them to digitally sell? This will be interesting next discussion topic.

Crypto currency and NFTS will outsmart the banking system in the nearest future serving as a global fiat. Already making over 85% profit from my current investment🤑

30 and under… 35 and over… 31-34= chopped liver? The problem with this is blanket statements about an entire generation. I think we’re too busy comparing ourselves and not focusing on the future, whatever that is, no matter what age you are.

I'm a millenial but very close to the Gen Z in age and I can definitely relate with this. 🌟

This channel has inspired me in so many ways

Digital native... Try digital naive. Coming ot of that bubble will be painful, but pain (analog) is good for growth.

This perspective is DESPERATELY needed in the c-suite of every company. I'm a consultant on human connection and work directly with executives in both small, local firms and multi-national corporations. One of their biggest frustrations is, "What do I do with these Gen-Z's?" They fail to connect with them and therefore fail to utilize their massive potential because they are too focused on what native digitals do *differently* than they do, rather than what native digitals do *better* than they do. Thanks Hannah, for this fantastic resource I can send to all of my clients.

Good mind👏

really like that idea 👍. you can choose engagement ring design that you like, have it 3d print, wear it for like three months. and if you really like it then you can order the real one.

Way to stereotype people. Im sure there are LOTS of under 30 year olds who want a fancy ring and lots of over 40 year olds who would think a 3D printed ring would be cool as heck. The problem isn’t analog vs digital, it is that people stop growing and learning new things. Which also means that in 20 years a lot of these digital natives will be stuck their ways and will be called dinosaurs by the new and improved Gen Alpha employees.

Brilliant insights 👍

Under 30 or over 35... I'm 32, what am I "native" to? Or am I an immigrant or something?

Gen Z here, would much rather be a native analog. Do not believe I’m an outlier either, I think many people my age or not are concerned where we are headed.

Given that analog is predicted to make a comeback in computation for artificial intelligence, this terminology shouldn't be adopted to discuss the generational gap witnessed with Gen Z.

ادعو الله ان تكون انت وعائلتك سعداء🌼🌼🌼🌼🌼🌼🌼

Not everybody can be an influencer on youtube…..

영상감사합니다ㆍ솜결

There is no short cut to success...

Very insightful talk! Loved it.

Nice talk

TEDx Talks 🤔 I Think.... 🤔 You so happy, TEDx Talk 🤔 if my doughter 🌺 say ok ☺️☺️☺️ Thanks.

I ❤ you

A native analog cannot get a high salary job without a degree, algorithms exit their application. A native analog is benefitting from ageism in addition to their digital savvy.

and im the one who wants to be a nurse..... in highschool..... and after watching this I don't know WHAT TO DO?! HELP!

A great passionate talk most certainly, but there seems to be conflation and confusion with a couple different points here. The ring argument seems to be a generalized lens from someone in a higher wealth bracket, that I believe might be wrong to apply to a general mass. Many people from lower income brackets probably have beautiful stories of their parents/grandparents offering tokens of sentimental value to their partners with little monetary worth. As well there many historical counter culture movements of the past like the 'hippe' movement of the 60-80s were rooted in their anti-capitalist and establishment views. As imperfect as any execution may have been. We also live in a very afluent time where creating a business is easier than ever due to the wealth and resources we've amassed in the western world. The understanding of resources we have thanks to the efforts of the prior generation is def something our generation does well, however, I dont think we have generalized deeply engrained beliefs that differ as stated. I think this was very much a different understanding of transient wealth. In the past they bought things that held value, gold, diamons, rings etc. now we understand to make value we build business. I find it a funny to make a comparison and call out the older generation for their fixation on money and being 'cheap' when the other angle you very much weave in is we can make a business out of this! Which obviously would be based around retaining wealth and value... Though there is a lot of other points I could make ill cut it short and move to the end of the video where we highlight some of the amazing success stories of these people. As many other people have stated not everyone is the super successful self starter that is capable of taking those routes and isn't tether with other socio-economic chains. As well for marketing this is most certainly true, but marketing implies the creation of a product or service to market. Academic institutions are great because they allow us to meet with other minds that are interested and passion about the actual pursuit of creating these products. IN FACT every single person you mentioned in the last slide either graduated from university/college or is currently attending. To contrast the idea of old world vs new world. The old world will change to meet the needs of the new world, and I am all of the mind to move our academic instituions somewhat online to alleviate boundaries, but it seems like these points are counters when compared closely. Either way amazing talk, and you did a great job! I think it would of benefited from less sweeping generalizations however.

😇

Native digital? Who wrote the first code?

Всем здравия ребята, желаю всем любви и добра

Maybe that is why syndicate come in for the elder to have a good place in life ?... hard to say in english L'ancienneté est un droit afin d'aider ceux qui ont donné plus de temps dans le travaille a avoir de l'avancement et de meilleures conditions vis a vis l'expertise . Je comprend que la nouvelle ère digitale est bien présente, les jeunes baigne dans les programmes et les idées digitales et numériques, ce qui facilite l'utilisation générale de ceux ci. Mais le futur est constamment en évolution . le message est une belle publicité a laisser une chance au jeune a des postes de dirrecteurs, mais ne s'applique en rien a tout domaines général et quotidien.

Plastic? Although this sounds like a great idea, more plastic in the enivornment is all we need.

I feel native digital but I'm over 35

very close to the gen z in age

There are more MBAs than millionaires KZfaqrs…

In the beginning of the videos description you said she was 24 and then towards the middle/end you said that she was 23. So which one is it 23 or 24? Need to correct your errors

Mum was right

I want to wake up one morning and fine out that my portfolio is $5,000,000 I know is possible

A few cherry picked examples and a fictional story only go so far. You need something that will work for tens of millions in your generation. Reality is incoming

Those Teds are getting lower quality each year. Nevermind she's no clue what she's talking about. For every YT creator there has to be a million people in the audience from the same Gen whatever. People in their 10's and 20's now have less knowledge about computers and the internet, how it all works, than those in their 30's - 50's. Just like them, have less knowledge about how a car works, how to build a house or use any tools.

I'm a millennial and this makes me sad, we need to go back :( I feel future generations

meanwhile gen z in malaysia mostly still think like boomers

Thank you

🤔

Wow! It’s too bad there are more labels applied and showing separation . Seems like more discrimination based on age! I guess us elderly over 45 needs more education.

Gen z is doom. Wait when the recession kicks into full gear

Unity in Diversity

Hannah... So, money is a symbol for wealth. A goat is wealth. Which one you gonna take?

What a weird way to like present Gen Z to older people… The beginning was cool - an example of revaluation of values. Then you might have explained what’s changed, why you and other Z are different from 40+yo ppl: the service marketplace had been changed. What crucial to understand -entertainment field has grown drastically since 90s. The World no longer cares about ordinary hard type professions. In XV century, no one except super rich people traded 1 piece of bread for 5 min of laugh. Right now, we rather want something fun than just water and bread. In XX we had a lot of singers and actresses which were the primary representatives of entertainment field. There is still education needed to become a pro actress / singer. but if you enjoy entertaining people today there’s much simpler way to do it: create YT / twitch / TT channel. Right now, in almost every field soft skills, basically good emotions release are valued so much as never before. A human lives to be happy (to get dopamine). They do every single thing to pursue good state of mind. It’s just because of technological revolution most of human needs have become super easy to satisfy. That’s why we’ve got 20+ different KZfaq professions (all kinds of bloggers) and yes, even a child may do it. And it’s good 😊 But instead, you started talking about how unique, rich and cool you are. Cmon it’s just human evolution. I agree you are different, your behavior, consumption, etc. Gen Y were slightly different from gen X too. You're also gonna be old, don’t forget

LOL of course the youth would love to follow in the example of social media stars & earn a passive income from “content creation”… who wouldn’t want easy money & a flexible schedule? Only a fraction will be successful at this as a career path though, & it will mostly be those blessed by good looks & startup capital from rich daddies who can buy them the latest iPhones & podcasting equipment. Inherited advantages have always been the ticket to success in a capitalist society. The more things change, the more they stay the same 🤷🏻‍♀️

I agree with this approach even if I'm from analog generation (I'm 41 year's old). 😁 This process will be accelerated by methaverse which will change entire landscape of Internet.

I am no so excellat even i don't know the spelling of that I can't do that thing my brain is not shat like those 22 23 24 year old people who they talk about but the main thing is that "if you need something you have to lose something" and "No Pain, No Gain"

Oh boy that was not nice to watch.

I am 35+ and I am either a cheapskate or a Gen Z

Another point is that GenZ has no loyalty in the work world, skipping jobs like changing outfits. It is sad that loyalty and perseverance have gone out of style.

اول عراقي^

lol

I think it's a naive thought, Generation Z doesn't want to go to university, the truth is because it costs a lot to get a degree and they are not committed to continuing a career. Because his thought is to get rich and live a life of luxury I don't blame him for that idea because it is the idea created by the capitalism that we live today. However the example she gave of sophia was a very imaginary example because it is radical yes but not realistic because we would have digital bosses everywhere but the reality is we don't have young people in these positions but graduated people with a team that does these evaluations so yes I think giving a position of boss to a 23-year-old is very irresponsible because young people don't know what responsibility and commitment to their life and their future are and they only live in the moment and want immediate pleasure without understanding the implications that this can affect them and the people around them, that's why sophia doesn't want to continue her job because she wants to get rich as quickly as possible and drop everything to live on passive income and with that not understanding leaving her job it not only affects her but the entire chain of employees who accompanied her will have to be reassessed to see whether or not they remain at work all this because sophia wants to stay at home and focus on her hobby. That's why I think it's great that Gen Z is going to bring that thought to work and how we should really work if we're going to work ourselves to death to try to make the boss rich or have smaller workloads to enjoy our life and hobbies.

الموضوع تافه

fake laugh is annoying

And don't be a good looking dude

I'm not sure your plastic engagement ring example makes sense. You say it's just a symbol and has no inherent value, but then compare it to fine jewellery made from rare earth metals and gems which DO have inherent value. Kinda nonsensical.

sosych

Digital native*

I’m glad I retired!😂

Your peers grew up completely integrated in technology? If you were born in 1998 (you said you were 24), you definitely did NOT grow up fully integrated into technology. You were born in the 90's... Not 2015. AI wasn't a thing until recently and it's just now starting. You were in high school when smartphones became popular. This whole video is just a marketing reach, not many people in their 20's care about the metaverse or technology like this. Interesting ideas and it'll probably be relevant in the future, but saying anyone 30 and under is "gen z" or a digital native is just incorrect.

So, go to a native digital bathroom...

Women☕

Basically she's saying everyone should be an alien and robots and user internet digital in replace of a normal human being! Humans if there are any normal ones left do like to see another in a shop on the phone, or even live chat a real person not a robot.

I come from a group of craftsmanship and honor. You will never understand what it takes to create something with your heart and Hands. . . Quit being so smug. We also see you as Lazy.

I feel old when I worked in the 90s and early 2000s we were still using pen and paper. the internet was still in its infancy and you Tube Instagram wasnt around Tic Tok is something the clock did Lol maybe this young woman can teach an old dog new tricks. I am concerned about a cashless society because it would be a hackers dream come true and people still try and scam you on a Daily bases. I don't see myself as being old at 46. but this young Woman as shown me maybe Im not the bumm as the Americans say as I first thought. yes I watch You Tube Channels but I often write down comments and give advice in how they can improve their channel or make their Job easier for themselves and more often than not they thank me. I can send them videos that they may find interesting and useful. It passis the time for me but I also find it fulfilling. I can help friends on Facebook if someones having a bad day or feeling sad I can send them a privat message of comfart. you couldnt do that 20 years ago. I guess I still contrabut to the wider world after all thank you for this talk. And for making me feel valubable again

Tech is ruining humanity

Digital = 1 or 0. Predictable. Boring. Analog = A plethora of values that can produce a variety of sometimes unpredictable results. An analog synthesizer can make amazing, rich sounds! Just like analog vinyl albums are making a come back, largely on the desires of Gen Z-ers to live the glory days of Gen X-ers, the analogs will also make a comeback. Digital music sucks. Analog music is the thing of legend. Sorry if I am a critic. But the analog/digital analogy is a poor one to exert superiority. People are analog by their very nature.

Native digital equals native lazy. Native digital equals decay. Nothing new.

TedX, you can certainly do better than this. 🙄

[yawn] I love not being a woman.

JESUS IS COMING BACK SOON, ACCEPT THE GOSPEL OF JESUS CHRIST IN YOUR HEART, REPENT OF YOUR SINS AND YOU WILL BE SAVED! REPENT FOR THE KINGDOM OF GOD IS AT HAND ❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️

Gen Z don't really care about the environment. Thats the problem. Plastic again, never learned.
