Generation Alpha (Gen Alpha for short) are the demographic cohort succeeding Generation Z and are loosely defined as being born between the early 2010s to 2020s, with the exact date range currently being disputed among researchers.[1][2] This generation was named after the first letter in the Greek alphabet. Most members of Generation Alpha are the children of Xennials, Millennials, and Zillennials.
Definition
There is no consensus yet on the birth years for Generation Alpha. McCrindle Research uses 2010–2024.[3] However other sources, while they have not specified a range for Generation Alpha, have specified end years for Generation Z of 2012[4] or 2013,[5] to which if applied to Generation Alpha, the oldest members would be born in 2013, or 2014.
Use of media technology
Most members of Generation Alpha are growing up using smartphones and tablet computers for their childhood entertainment. Many are exposed to such devices as soothing distractions or educational aids.[6] Screen time with babies, toddlers and preschoolers became far more popular in the mid-2010s.
Being born in environments where the use of electronic devices is everywhere, however, has its own challenges.[7] These problems include but are are not limited to cyberbullying, screen addiction, and inappropriate materials. They are generally described as introverts who spend more time with modern technology than with their favorite toys.

Parental Internet usage
Generation Alpha are also being surrounded with adult Internet use starting shortly after their lives begin. The parents of Generation Alpha, mostly Millennials, have heavy usage of social media.
