    Egocentric Generation

    by Aljun A. Desoyo

    When it comes to entertainment, millennial in the Philippines are usually seen


    spending time online, watching YouTube videos. They have the latest apps, watch the
    latest TV series or into the latest hits. They DON’T READ NEWSPAPERS. They have
    Google for information and Waze for road directions.

    Another set of description that best fits the millennial are: upbeat, lazy,
    narcissistic, materialistic, self- expressive, fun-loving and liberal. They also have short
    attention span.

    It has been said that they’re digital natives- growing up amidst social networks
    and rapidly evolving technology. Take an example in school- they can’t stay in an hour
    in a class without visiting their social media account, hence, posting a selfie in whatever
    move they have to do. They let followers, likers, and friends (they actually haven’t met)
    for opinions, comments, and advice about certain topic. They are also known as career
    shifters, jumping from one field to another, seeing career as “self- discovery” and who
    are in Facebook may not necessarily who they are in real-life. They have different
    versions of themselves depending on what they want to show the world.

    But knowing a millennial has its gauge. They are imaginative, creative, and build
    a community of their own. The way they express themselves makes them special.
    Different in a way that they manage to be responsible on the decision they make. They
    are open-minded and easily embrace the changes in the society they actually adapt
    without so much pressure or question.

    Help create a clearer, better picture of millennials. Let’s be more open in


    understanding them as they build their future for the world to see.
