The Future

The future will be a far different world from the one we will in now. Now, society and the economy are acclimated to the Baby Boom Generation. However, my generation, the Millennial Generation has been fortunately raised with technology whereas the Baby Boomers had to adjust to the inventions as they were brought about. My generation is far more tech-savy than the previous generations and because of this, our future will be more technology-based. The Baby Boomers prefer a more "traditional" way of work compared to the computer-based Millennial preference. This will strongly affect the future of developments because they will be designed to satisfy the youth, my generation. Overall, I feel as though we will see a dramatic shift in the work force, as we are already starting to see, when the youth are further integrated into the market.

The Baby Boomers vs. The Millennials

In my PPD 245 class, we are discussing a very interesting topic. After WWII, the Baby Boom generation moved from the cities out to the suburbs. They did this in an effort to start families in a more spacious and affordable environment. However, now, the Millennial generation is moving from the suburbs back into the cities. The individuals within the Millennial generation are tending to get married later and prefer to be in the city-centers for a more entertaining, social, and exciting lifestyle. I know that I prefer living in the city compared to the suburbs. I grew up in Sherman Oaks, CA and moved to West Hollywood about 5 years ago. Living in the city is far more energetic and lively, which as a kid growing up, I enjoy. I also live way closer to nightlife events making my home far more convenient. Overall, while growing up, I want to be in a city-center. When I get older and start a family, I might want to be in a more relaxed suburb. However, I am satisfied at the moment.
