In short, they are the upcoming generation that is currently graduating from high schools and colleges and will be for the next decade. This generation is quite special though. They possess a completely different sensibility around both work and networking that the prior generations don’t have.

Their minds also seem to work in a different way that our older brains don’t seem to be wired for.
