00:00	Hi everyone , I'm jennifer from english with jennifer .
00:04	If you want to study english with me and boost
00:07	your communication skills , be sure to subscribe to my
00:11	channel . Some people have told me that I look
00:15	like Winona Ryder , I don't think I'm her doppelganger
00:19	, but I suppose there are some similarities . I
00:22	generally take the comparison as a compliment because I like
00:26	the actress , guess what I have in common with
00:29	Winona Ryder , UMA thurman , Yao , Ming and
00:34	Tiger Woods . We all belong to Generation X .
00:39	We our generation Xers That means we were born between
00:44	the years 1965 and 1980 . What generation do you
00:50	belong to do you know ? Let's talk about generations
00:55	and generational differences . Learn some important vocabulary related to
01:00	this topic . We can talk about generations in terms
01:12	of parents and Children . We use phrases like my
01:16	generation , my parents generation , my grandparents generation ,
01:22	the younger generation today . But the interesting thing is
01:29	that a wide age gap between siblings can mean that
01:32	brothers and sisters belong to different generations . I have
01:37	three brothers , my two older brothers and I were
01:40	born before 1980 are younger brother was born after 1980
01:47	. So technically he's a millennial . Millennials are connected
01:53	to the late 1980s and the early 1990s there called
01:57	millennials because they were becoming young adults at the start
02:01	of the new millennium . The exact years are in
02:05	1981-1996 . Millennials are also referred to as generation y
02:12	but that name is less common . My brothers and
02:17	I get along very well and we can talk about
02:20	almost anything . But it is true that my two
02:23	older brothers and I know more songs , movies and
02:27	TV shows from the 1970s that was part of our
02:31	early childhood . Our younger brother watched different cartoons and
02:35	listen to different music growing up , they say by
02:39	the way that the music we love the most is
02:42	the music we listen to as teenagers . Do you
02:45	agree with that ? I do . I love music
02:49	from different time periods including classical music . But the
02:53	music I love the most is music from the 1980s
02:57	. That's when I hit my teenage years . But
03:01	all of my brothers and I experienced something very important
03:05	. We all remember life without the internet . We
03:08	didn't really use computers and laptops until we were young
03:12	adults . Cell phones came even later . It's the
03:18	generation after the millennials that's known to be very tech
03:21	savvy . They grew up with more technology , they
03:24	know more about it and they're very comfortable using it
03:29	. People born in the late 1990s and the early
03:32	2000s are post millennials . Post means after post millennials
03:39	are also referred to as Generation Z . Post millennials
03:44	were born between 1997 and 2012 . I bet some
03:49	of you watching right now our post millennials right .
03:55	Another way we can divide people is according to their
03:58	experience with technology . My Children are digital natives .
04:03	They've grown up with digital technology . This kind of
04:08	technology is familiar and comfortable to them . They're the
04:12	ones who taught me how to use instagram . That's
04:17	because I'm a digital immigrant . I was already an
04:20	adult when I started to use digital technology as part
04:23	of my daily life . They say that digital natives
04:29	and digital immigrants think differently , Process information differently and
04:34	behave differently to some degree . I think that's true
04:40	. But I think many digital immigrants have adopted views
04:43	and habits of digital natives . For example , I
04:47	love when things are done fast . I hate to
04:49	waste time . It's in my nature . So I
04:52	love high speed internet access and I wish other aspects
04:57	of life could move just as quickly . Maybe there's
05:02	less comfort with technology among the baby boomers . These
05:06	are people who were born after the Second World War
05:10	. They were born between 1946 and 1964 . After
05:16	the war there was a baby boom in the U
05:18	. S . A big increase in the population .
05:22	People were having babies . That's where the name baby
05:25	boomer comes from . There is some debate over the
05:30	expression , okay boomer . It's being used quite often
05:35	on social media . Is it offensive or not ?
05:40	If it's being used to criticize someone for not understanding
05:44	or knowing something because they're too old then yes ,
05:48	it's likely offensive , but in my opinion it depends
05:53	on the relationship between the speaker and the listener .
05:57	It depends on the situation and the tone of voice
06:01	. My kids for example sometimes tease me about being
06:04	too old and it can be annoying at times but
06:08	it's also funny . So when they do this I
06:10	don't take great offense . Now we're getting into the
06:15	topic of ageism and you need to be careful how
06:19	you view people and how you treat people based on
06:22	their age . There are different forms of discrimination ,
06:27	right ? Racism ? Sexism . While ageism is when
06:32	you don't treat people fairly because of their age ,
06:35	you judge them for being old , What do you
06:41	think ? Is it fair for a company to hire
06:43	people only under the age of 40 ? When is
06:47	age an advantage because it gives you experience and when
06:51	his age a concern We're facing this question as we
06:57	get ready for the next us presidential election . The
07:01	US . president by law must be at least 35
07:04	years old but there's no age limit . Should there
07:08	be ? What do you think ? Okay let's try
07:13	a quick quiz . All name 10 famous people and
07:16	you tell me which generation they each belong to .
07:20	Ready . Barack Obama . Born in 1961 . Barack
07:30	Obama is a baby boomer . Donald trump . Born
07:41	in 1946 . He is a baby boomer but just
07:45	barely If Trump had been born one year earlier ,
07:50	he would have belonged to another generation . Some talk
07:54	about the silent generation when they refer to people born
07:58	between 1925 and 1945 . But there is some debate
08:03	and confusion over the name . It's honestly not a
08:06	name that I hear used as much as the other
08:09	names for different generations . Why the silent generation were
08:14	they silent and they didn't complain about things ? Was
08:19	it a silent time because they had less technology or
08:22	maybe it was silent in the sense that it was
08:24	a low period . This was the time of the
08:27	great depression in our country . Let's go on with
08:32	our quiz Leonardo Dicaprio 1974 . He belongs to Generation
08:42	X . Mark Zuckerberg . Born in 1984 . He
08:53	is a millennial Taylor swift . Born in 1989 .
09:03	She's also a millennial steven Spielberg . Born in 1946
09:14	. Spielberg is a baby boomer , jennifer Lawrence Born
09:23	in 1990 . She's a millennial Michael Jackson Born in
09:34	1958 . Jackson was a baby boomer . Bernie Sanders
09:45	Born in 1941 . He's a few years short of
09:48	being a baby boomer . Bernie Sanders belongs to the
09:51	silent generation . Millie bobby Brown . Born in 2004
10:03	of Millie Bobby Brown is a post millennial and if
10:06	you don't know her name , maybe you belong to
10:08	another generation or you just haven't watched the TV show
10:12	stranger things . All right , here's the list of
10:18	generations . Again . The silent generation is from 1925
10:23	to 1945 . Baby boomers were born between 1946 and
10:29	1964 . Generation X is from 1965 to 1980 .
10:38	Millennials were born between 1981 and 1996 . And post
10:45	millennials , they were born between 1997 and 2012 .
