There have been many other generations before Gen-Z, which have their own special identity. Baby Boomers (1946-1964) is the generation that witnessed the period of economic growth and stability after the war. After this came Generation X (1965-1980), which is often called the "sandwich generation" because they saw both traditional and modern lifestyles closely. After this, Millennials or Gen-Y (1981-1996) is the generation that saw the rapid spread of internet, mobile and social media and was at the forefront of adopting the digital world. At the same time, Gen-Alpha (children born after 2013) is today's newest generation, which is completely born in the era of artificial intelligence, smart devices and automation. Every generation has its own thinking, challenges and way of living, which makes them special.
