AAAGH ! The Generation 90s is coming!
Wearing earphones,using complicated Net language and constantly text messaging friends,the
Gen-90s following the Gen-80s begin to make their world debut.
Each generation or age group has its own symbols and lifestyle. Read on and judge for yourselves
if you fit the Gen-90s profile.
Earphones
These little devices seem to grow on the heads of the Cen-90s. They might lead to MP3,MP4 or
MP101 players,giving these young people a plugged-in,cool and perhaps self-indulgent look. Of course,
life is not always music to the ears.
Martian Language
They have created their own code-like online language. It's a mixture of English,Japanese and Chinese
that perhaps only Martians can understand. This is an imaginative generation,though they need to be
careful to keep it out of their term papers.
Self-portrait
Saying " cheese" to their own digital cameras is routine for this generation. A little bit of
narcissismc (自恋) never hurts anyone. It helps them reflect a little on their own lives. But be aware of
the risks of posting private photos online.
Text-messaging
They can type their mobile phones as fast as they can speak. This is a generation that respects
efficiency. Nevertheless,oral communication is important and will never go out of style.
