Growing up tech-savvy, millennials are flexible and adaptive to change

Whether it is availability of modern equipment and gadget driven life or the rapid globalisation that affects their careers, millennials are privileged to grow up in an age of advanced science and technology compared to their older generations.

However, they are often called lazy, inflexible in taking up careers or jobs and often seen as very choosy in finding their prospects in life. These statements could be subjective and are over generalised, they may not apply to every individual of the generation.

I believe they have an ability to be flexible and more adaptive to rapid changes in technology. From the psychological development side of things, their personalities and the ability to cope with pressure and stress in their life, communicate effectively and maintaining effective interpersonal relationships are just a result of guidance from older generations.

In my opinion, millennials seem to have good chances of getting employed in the current society as it is vital for the employers to choose young minds who could adapt to the advanced science and technology. There are also other positives in being a millennial.

They are usually open-minded to changes in the society and up-to-date with current events. Their lives are very much influenced by the advancement in the field of technology, education and even the competition within the generation to achieve the expectations of the family and the society.

Without considering these factors, the older generations can be just as spoilt as well. From Dr Shankar Srinivas Kuchibatla
