Three distinct categories of
digital natives*
Generation Y (Born early 80s, Now 27-34y) – used it more collaboratively to share thoughts and appreciate others
Generation C (Born 88-93, Now 21-26y)
– use social media more expressively to earn respect
Generation Z (Born after 95, Now up to 19y) – Mechanism to pursue their own interests

At Amaze we had a simple idea…
![Page 19: Youth Social Media & Digital Engagement at #SMWLdn](https://reader034.vdocument.in/reader034/viewer/2022042816/5596f92b1a28ab7b228b46af/html5/thumbnails/19.jpg)
Take a small group of 10 to 15 year olds and study them for 5 years. Not a snapshot. Not a large, one off quantitative study. But a long term study in digital ethnography.
![Page 20: Youth Social Media & Digital Engagement at #SMWLdn](https://reader034.vdocument.in/reader034/viewer/2022042816/5596f92b1a28ab7b228b46af/html5/thumbnails/20.jpg)
The Amaze Generation are tomorrow’s society shapers. They are digital natives - digital is so normal it is like the air that they breathe. Today’s technological change is part of their lives – it’s unremarkable; they adopt it and change it at will. But how is it changing them and how will they, in turn, change society?

Insights
Facebook is still popular the site’s popularity appears to have reached a plateau, as the group reveals how it is using the site ‘a lot less’ than 12 months ago.
“there will be very minimal stores as most shopping will be done online due to people being lazy and thinking it’s easier to do it at home. There will be lots of fashion stores around and expensive designers.”
This savvy, technologically connected age group are clear about what they want – ease of use, convenience and choice.
…the group uses technology as an easy way to share and decide what to buy, even when purchasing in-store…
…clear, rational, unsympathetic view towards store closures …. little loyalty towards traditional retailers. “people shop online because it is more convenient” …“nobody can afford to buy stuff that isn’t absolutely necessary.” One participant sums up the group view: “Even though I rarely actually bought anything from there [HMV] I enjoyed browsing.”

As an industry to learn more about young people we
