Background

Millennials is a terminology for current young generation in the range age of 15-34 years. This generation is fully affected by technology as they were born in a progressive technology advancement era. Several characteristics describe them are:

  1.   Attached more to flexible work

There is no limit or boundaries of their productivity workplace. They could do their work not only in the workplace, but everywhere and anytime as long as there is internet connection.

  1.   Focusing on passion rather than high salary

Freedom in pursuing their dream and passion is the most important thing and affecting their performance. They prefer to express freely rather than being ordered to do something to get high salary.

  1.   Love challenges and creativity

Challenges and creativity are the things describing this generation. Through these 2 things, they are the ones who create demand over companies. They could move from one to another if they feel bored. So, we could say that companies are the ones that need them.

However, as coins have two sides, everything definitely has the good thing and bad thing. Aside from those good characteristics, millennials also has 1 significant characteristic that could bring significant problems which is dependency over Social Media. Based on studies, 95% of millennials are the ones who are connected with Social Media everyday. Sometimes social media is used to show their existence, like where they are, what they are doing, and even the place for them to express themselves.

But again, something that is overused will lead to dependency and bring negative impact. We are being extremely too addicted with Social Media that we abandon our surroundings and influence us to be lazy in doing things and lack of politeness are instance how dependencies of Social Media could sway its good purpose. The Social Media that is created to help mankind in communicating and interacting with other people, even seems like becoming our “primary needs” that distance and disconnect us with our surroundings which actually worsen our interaction with other people and our self-development.

Concerning those impacts, as an English club who cares for the future of millennials around the world, we would like to hold online international youth campaign supporting The International Youth Day on August 12, 2017 with the theme I Am Not Bonded to The Screen, I Am Committed to Be Keen (#IAmAKeenMillennial)
