Gen Z Vs. Gen Alpha – A Tale of Two Generations!

Have you ever wondered why your elder brother or sister uses a phone differently than you? Or why your parents say, “Kids these days are so different!” That’s because you may belong to Gen Alpha, while they belong to Gen Z — two unique generations growing up in very different times.

Gen Z includes children and teens born between 1997 and 2012. They were the first to grow up with smartphones, social media, and online learning. But they also remember a time when playing outside, reading books, and watching TV together as a family were common. Many Gen Z kids learned to balance technology with outdoor fun.

Gen Alpha, on the other hand, includes children born from 2013 onwards. This generation is often called the “digital-first kids.” From tablets for learning to AI-powered toys and virtual classrooms, Gen Alpha is growing up with technology as a natural part of life — almost like learning to walk and talk.

Parents see a big difference. They think Gen Z is independent, creative, and social but sometimes distracted by social media. Gen Alpha, they feel, is smarter with technology, learns faster, and has big dreams — but parents worry they might spend too much time in the digital world instead of exploring nature or playing with friends.

In the end, both generations are special. Gen Z brought fresh ideas to the world, while Gen Alpha is shaping the future in exciting ways. Parents believe that if kids combine creativity with kindness — both generations can make the world a brighter place.
