The fact is the millennial generation is very different in what they do, how they view the world, what products attract them and, like it was when we were young, how much the world seems to revolve around them. In short they are just as high energy, just as convinced they are right, and think they are just as different from their parents as we did. So, here we are, with this latest generation about to get a bunch of brand new toys, courtesy of the Windows 8 launch less than a month away, for which they will soon be clamoring to IT about getting them to work.

Let's explore this new "I want everything, I can do it better than you" generation.

They Want Everything NOW!

An aspect of youth is that wants aren't that well defined, they are easily distracted by the latest flashy object and everything they say seems so incredibly deep and important to them and the older generation they are replacing don't get it.

For millennials everything is new and different even though much of it has been recycled from ideas that have been around for generations. And they want it all, they haven't yet defined what "all" is and clearly the vast majority is beyond their grasp. As a result, their expectations can often have little to do with reality.
