Generation Alpha
After the millennials' children
Generation Alpha refers to people born from roughly 2010 to 2025, the children of millennials and the first generation born entirely in the 21st century.
The term follows Generation Z in the alphabetic naming convention, cycling back to the Greek alphabet.
Gen Alpha is characterized by unprecedented early exposure to smartphones, tablets, and AI—true digital natives from infancy.
My Gen Alpha nephew has never known a world without iPads.
