What are the post-80s generation in the United States doing?
Young people in every country are smart and creative, and those who can make difference are those who have hobbies, are diligent in thinking, have idea, and dare to have idea, and dare to practice.
I have twenty or thirty children, all of whom were born after 80 years of the last century. We chat occasionally, and they sometimes tell me things I don't want my parents to know. Although I don't have children of my own, I like to pay attention to young people and be interested in what they are thinking and doing. Some of them think I'm cool, too, because I never take them seriously, and most of us are Facebook friends. Of course, these are American children or the children of Chinese-American families. On the other hand, my Chinese children are limited to the Internet and occasionally communicate with each other. Through these exchanges, I learned some of their ideas but also learned new terms, such as post-80s and post-90s. Because I only saw it on the Internet and did not hear what other people said about this word, I began to say that it was the post-80s and post-90s! Haha. Later, when a child corrected me, I knew that the correct statement was post-80s. I have noticed that there are many similarities between the post-80s generation in China and the United States, for example, they both grew up in front of computers and smartphone screens, they live on the Internet, like texting, with two thumbs, and they dress similarly, and they are good at shooting Selfie. They all like fast food, they all love themselves and are full of self-confidence. But there are also many differences between the post-80s generation in China and the United States. First of all, in the United States, instead of being called the post-80s generation, they are called Millennials and Post Millennials. More subdivided, those born in 60-76 of the last century are called Age X, those born in 77-94 are Age Y, and those born in 1995-2012 are Age Z.
80 years later will be Gen Y, also known as Millennials, Now some people call it Post Millennials, 90 years later, although many people are still confused about this definition and have not come to a conclusion. I don't know how to translate Millennials, and I haven't seen an official translation. Let's just call it millennial, Post Millennials, which means post-millennium. They were born in the last century, why are they called the millennium? The United States is divided by adulthood, the post-80s to the millennium, basically adults, so they are the millennium. There is no doubt that the 21st century belongs to these post-80s and post-90s millennials. They grew up in a good environment, many of their parents received a university education, and they grew up in a better educational environment. Many of them have cross-cultural and cross-border learning and work experience, which is indeed unique. The post-80s generation in China and the United States are both experts at social networks, and they wouldn't play without them, Wechat Weibo Zhihu Baidu, Facebook Twitter TumblrLinkedinGoogleInstagramFlickr. Today, when the whole world is shouting that the 21st century is China's century, China's post-80s and post-90s are even more eye-catching or should be more eye-catching. Because it is they who will push China to the top of the world in the 21st century. So what are they doing? Or which of their achievements and achievements have attracted the attention of the world? I can't remember it for a moment. Of course, I don't know much about China. Just because I don't know doesn't mean I don't have it, so I Google Baidu. I put in the "Chinese top entrepreneur", Jack Ma first, but he is not a post-80s generation. Go on, Mo Yan, a Chinese top writer, is not a post-80s generation. Chinese top filmmakers, Zhang Yimou and Chen Kaige are not post-80s. Chinese top philosophers, Feng Youlan and Confucius, are, needless to say, too far behind the post-80s generation. In short, I searched down and did not find the inventions and innovations of China's post-80s and 90s that attracted worldwide attention. Of course, this must not obliterate the genius and ability of the post-80s and post-90s. There is probably no record online, and the result is likely to be tomorrow, but we haven't seen it yet. What I saw on the Internet is that the post-80s and 90s are majestic and heroic, and there is nothing they dare not say. They invented to use the new Internet language, almost all of them are proficient in computers, almost everyone has an iPhone. Nowadays, there are many white-collar workers, CEO, and so-and-so studios in China. And so on are all controlled by the post-80s and post-90s. These are dazzling, but I think they may not be enough to make China dominate the world in the 21st century. Know yourself and know the enemy, a hundred battles are invincible, now look at what the millennium in the United States is doing. Microsoft, Google, Yahoo, Apple, which are still in use all over the world, are the inventions of the older generation, and the inventors were born 80 years ago, which is outside the scope of my discussion. I just want to name a few people and things that I am interested in and care about. And I use their innovations and inventions every day.
female author Tahereh Mafi, the best-selling author of the New York Times and USA Today (USA Today. Mafia was born in a small town in Connecticut in 1988 to Iranian immigrants. Mafi went to high school and university in California and studied in Barcelona for a semester. She has published at least six novels. Her first novel, broken me, was published in 2011 when she was only 23 years old. The book was a bestseller as soon as it came out, and some of her books have been bought by studios. Her books are classified as a young adults, which may be the Chinese word for "youth literature". I haven't read any of her books. I may read them sometime later. I'm more interested in her husband's book.
novelist Ransom Riggs, New York Times best-selling author Ransom Riggs, post-80s. He is the husband of the female writer Tahereh Mafi. The most famous book is Miss Peregrine's Home for Peculiar Children, whose name is long enough. There seems to be a Chinese translator called "Strange House Girl" or "Strange Orphanage". I don't think these two translations are correct. The first girl was wrong, Miss Peregrine's room. It's not just girls, it's a group of boys and girls. The second translation is not put into Miss Peregrine. This is the home hosted by Miss Peregrine. It is a place for special children, not an orphanage. If you ask me to translate, Peregrine is a kind of eagle, peregrine falcon, and in the book, the young lady often becomes a peregrine falcon. This is a novel interlaced by fantasy and science fiction through time and space. Why not translate it into miss peregrine falcon's home for strange children. I think this strange name is in tune with the weirdness of the book. Anyway, I don't like reading books like science fiction and fantasy, but I love this one. Riggs writes this book, just like everyone else writes a blog, inserting some photos into the article while writing. These old photos are not ordinary, these are real photos, they are all picked up by him and his friends in places like flea markets, but some of them have been modified, but most of them are original photos. They don't know the people in the photos, but the photos have a lot of stories, and he used them to write this fantasy book. This is a trilogy. The second one came out last year, and the other one comes out this year. The book was also bought by the studio. In addition, Riggs not only writes books but also makes some short films. His web page is worn by small documentaries, which is very interesting. The post-80s writer couple, who live in Santa Monica, California, has a long wooden table and usually sits on one side, wearing noise-canceling headphones and writing without hearing each other's voice. A very interesting couple of peculiar, Put two pictures of them.

composer Mohammed Fairouz . Known as the "post-millennium Schubert", he was born in New York in 1985 to Iranian parents and graduated from the New England Conservatory of Music. He grew up fond of Oscar Wilde's poems, and his third symphony was: Poems & amp; Prayers- poetry and prayer. He wrote poems and short songs by himself at the age of 7. So far, he has written four symphonies and some widely praised opera clips. His music is deeply influenced by Arab history, culture, poetry, and music, but he is also a typical American. His fourth symphony, In the Shadow of No Towers-, is based on comics of the same name and is about the shock left by the bombing of the Twin Towers in New York on 9 /11.
Fairouz loved poetry so much that he wrote operas and sang Cappella for the poems of Keats and other poets. He also wrote a lot of chamber music, piano, and violin rhapsody, and produced 11 records. I like his music and introduce him specially. He also said something that shocked me: classical music is dead. I have to take my time to understand what he said. Hang some pictures of him.
the three founders of Airbnb are all post-80s. I am very concerned about Airbnb because I live in Airbnb in both Spain and Portugal. I plan to turn part of my own house into an Airbnb rental in the future. So, it's only natural for me to go to Google to search for the history of Airbnb, and there are a lot of stories.
, Brian Chesky, one of the founders of
, was born in New York in 1981 and went to college at the School of Design in Rhode Island. He moved to San Francisco in 2008, when he lost his job and he and his roommates couldn't even pay the rent. Coincidentally, there was an industrial design conference in San Francisco at that time, and the nearby hotels were full. He and his roommate Joe Gebbia thought why not rent out their apartment to make some money. So they took Nathan Blencharczyk, a computer major from Harvard, to design a web page called Air Bed & amp; Breakfast, which is now Airbnb. It was a tough start, with only two tenants for a long time, and he was one of them. Airbnb has grown to 1 million registrations around the world, with sales of $13 billion in 2014 and 300 tenants as of the beginning of this year. And they are not greedy, it all depends on management, credibility and small profits, and quick turnover. According to my landlord, when there are tenants every day, the company charges them one dollar. I guess it's in proportion to the profit, but anyone can afford a dollar or two. At the end of last year, they made too much profit and gave each family a reward of $10. It's not much, but everyone is happy. These days, Wall Street has been talking about the listing of Airbnb almost every day. I said in my heart, hehe, another clean-sleeved millennium has become a story of world-class CEO. Joe Gebbia,1981, the other two founders of Airbnb and roommate of Brian Chesky, and Nathan Blecharczyk, a Harvard computer science graduate, were born in 1984.
in addition to Facebook -Facebook, which is used all over the world in China, the founder is Mark. Zuckerberg. OK, Mark sounds old-fashioned, but in fact, he was born in 1984 into a wealthy cultural family in New York. My father is a dentist and my mother is a counselor. Mark became very interested in computers at the age of 12 and designed some small software. his Zucknet was used by his father's clinic at that time, another of his software was used at home, and four children and their parents used text messages at that time, which was the earliest texting in the world.
when his parents saw that little Mark was talented in computers, they hired a tutor to give him a special cooker, but soon the tutor could not teach him, and he began to take some computer courses in graduate school. In high school, Mark designed Sy. Naps are the predecessor of the current Pandora music box. At that time, both AOL and Microsoft wanted to buy their software, but he refused. Then he went to Harvard, and the rest was history. Anyone who has watched the Social Network knows that that is Mark's story. The film reveals something about Mark, but Mark admits that it is true. Mark dropped out when he was a sophomore at Harvard. It's an old story, isn't it? bill Gates and Joe Bush both fired Harvard. It seems that only by dropping out can they succeed. But experts have repeatedly reminded children that genius can do that kind of thing, and we ordinary people suggest finishing college.

In 2014, the number of active users of Instagram reached 300 million. I also have an account with only 20 + photos. Sorry to play, other people's is photography, mine is just photos. Sweat).
