Society | Ages 17-23: Generation Phone

25 March 2009 728 views One Comment

 

Somewhere some marketing genius hound has added to a long line of generational nicknames with “1723,” which stands for, ahem, 17-23 year olds in Korea.

In the U.S. we went from the “Greatest Generation” of WWII to the Boomers to Generation X to the mercurial Millenials/Gen Y/Gen 911/Generation ADHD.   As for Korea, we have the notable ”386″ generation and…now another number-based generation! 

How to distinguish this particular generation of youngsters?  Well, look at their cellphones.  Is it me, or is there a strong fascination/identification with cookies and cream?   And what does it mean?   Maybe this is obvious.
