Do you remember not being able to browse the Internet while your mom was on the phone, but now you watch live TV on your smart phone? Chances are you’re part of a new micro-generation known as Xennials. Dan Woodman, an associate professor of sociology at the University of Melbourne in Australia identified this new generation as people born between 1977 and 1983. Xennials grew up in the pre-digital era with snail mail, dial-up internet, and broadcast television, but they also learned to adapt to the digital age and incorporate social media into their lives while in their 20s. They got to grow up with the best of both worlds.
