Gen Alpha

The name that is currently given to the Generation born after Generation Z (Roughly born from 1997-2012). Some other names this generation is colloquially referred to as are "Gen Autonomous, the AI Gen, and Gen A" . The starting year (2013) is used for the sole fact that it is the year the Tesla Model S was commercially available to consumers and was also the first electric car to top the monthly new-car-sales ranking in any country. Twice in Norway in 2013 and once in Denmark in December 2015. 2013 was also the first year that smartphone sales overtook the sale of dumb/feature/basic cell phones meaning that Gen Alpha will not know a world without always being connected online everywhere. COVID is another event that most Gen Alpha's will not be cognizant for or vaguely remember because of their young age at the time. Most Gen Alpha's will be the children of Millennials (1981-1996). However, as of 2021 there is actually an on-going trend of Millennials having less children than any other generation. With a record low globally of only 58.3 out of 1000 women giving birth. Of course there are some ideas of this happening such as such as the 2020 Global Pandemic ( COVID ), and also the inequality gap between different age groups also and the general economy of the world currently. Because of this it is predicted that Gen Alpha may share a trend of being part of a baby bust just like Gen X (1965-1980) were a part of.
