The enigma that is the
Millennial
Millennials
Millennials
Millennials
Millennials are characterised in popular
culture as having a number of traits which
include:
 a familiarity and facility with technology;
 a dislike of hierarchy and a preference for
flat management structures;
 a sense of idealism that sees them want
to make a difference in the world;
 a sense of self that borders on the
narcissistic;
 a sense of entitlement.
Millennials
TIME magazine
20th May 2013

Millennials - the Social Media Generation?
Play out their lives on
Instagram
A world of ‘likes’:
Need for affirmation
Millennials
Millennials - the Social Media Generation?
Facebook is for old people
Instagram is for beautiful people
Twitter is for ugly people
Millennials
‘The incidence of
narcissistic personality disorder
is nearly 3x as high
for people in their 20s as for the
generation that's now 65 or older.’
Millennials
‘The information revolution has further
empowered individuals by handing them the
technology to compete against huge
organizations:
hackers vs. corporations,
bloggers vs. newspapers,
terrorists vs. nation-states,
YouTube directors vs. studios,
app-makers vs. entire industries.
Millennials don't need us.’

A caveat
Understanding
Millennials:
ACaveat
“A pernicious excitement to learn and play BLANK has spread all
over the country ...
BLANK is a mere amusement of a very inferior character, which
robs the mind of valuable time that might be devoted to nobler
acquirements, while it affords no benefit whatever to the body.
BLANK has acquired a high reputation as being a means to
discipline the mind, but persons engaged in sedentary
occupations should never practise this cheerless game; they
require out-door exercises-not this sort of mental gladiatorship.”

“A pernicious excitement to learn and play CHESS has spread all
over the country ...
CHESS is a mere amusement of a very inferior character, which
robs the mind of valuable time that might be devoted to nobler
acquirements, while it affords no benefit whatever to the body.
CHESS has acquired a high reputation as being a means to
discipline the mind, but persons engaged in sedentary
occupations should never practice this cheerless game; they

Scientific American, July 1859 Issue
Understanding
Millennials:
ACaveat
“I've come up with a set of rules that
describe our reactions to technologies:
1. Anything that is in the world when
you’re born is normal and ordinary
and is just a natural part of the way
the world works.
2. Anything that's invented between
when you’re 15 and 35 is new and
exciting and revolutionary and you
can probably get a career in it.
3. Anything invented after you’re 35 is
against the natural order of things.”
The Salmon of Doubt
Douglas Adams
(1952-2001)

Schools need to take a lead:
Schools have access to professionals and

Schools are already a focus for the local
community – we bring people together.
Schools have an institutional knowledge in

EdTech is likely to change the role
of SecondaryTeachers:
 There will be fewer teachers delivering
content.
 Teachers will be the ‘guide on the side’.
 There will be ‘student motivators’.
