Generation Z
Child, Preschool January 17th, 2009Ever since Allan came back on Thursday. We have been ‘everywhere’ except home, busy preparing for Chinese New Year. I’ve got so much stories to tell, so many photos to upload, so many moments to share…. but not today. I’m exhausted.
I just want to tell you that Keatkeat surprised Allan and I today.
Allan’s handphone has been giving ‘red alert’ for a long time now. Today, he finally gave up, gave in. For the very first time in his life, he chose NOT to buy a Nokia phone.
He bought the Sony Ericsson W902.
Being a Nokia user for more than 10years, the big man has some hard time figuring his way into the many features and functions of the unfamiliar phone.
He gave himself a break after a few minutes, left it on the table and was on the PC checking the results of the English soccer matches.
Keatkeat picked up the phone like a pro. Put his tiny fingers to work on the keypads. In a few seconds, I guarantee, it didn’t even take a minute for the little guy to start his car racing game on the phone!
“Wow!” was the immediate reaction on his parents’ faces. Amazing!!!
When I ask him how did he do it, he could not explain. He just say, “I don’t know, I just found the game….”
Generation Z are really amazing! A few of the traits highlighted from Wikipedia includes:
….a high degree of influence over their parents’ purchasing decisions…
….They are highly connected, having had lifelong use of communications and media technologies…..earning them the nickname “digital natives”
….GenZ children are exposed to an environment that is heavy on stimulus….
You can read about the complete details over here.
WOW!!!!

Yay! Finally Keat regain himself thru this post. So what if he can’t concentrate on his assignments for long, cant clean his bum after toilet visits, etc. But he can do something that his papa cant. Isn’t he a genius?
