Mayowa Adenekan, renowned talent manager and digital marketing expert, popularly known as Mayorspeaks, has taken a moment to reflect on the distinctive qualities of the late 80s and early 90s generation, a fortunate era that witnessed the transformative transition from analog to digital technologies.
“If you are born in the Late 80s and early 90s, I want to consider us a lucky generation because The late 80s and early 90s indeed marked a unique and fortunate era to be born in,” says Mayorspeaks on Twitter.
The generation that emerged in this epoch had the exceptional opportunity to experience the best of both worlds. As Mayorspeaks eloquently put it,
“We are blessed with the opportunity to experience both the charm of the old analog world and the rapid advancements of the digital age embraced by Generation Z. This confluence of two worlds has shaped us into a truly versatile and adaptable generation.”
Growing up in the late 80s and early 90s, the individuals of this generation witnessed the historic transition from analog to digital technologies, leading to a profound appreciation for the simplicity and authenticity of the past. Mayorspeaks fondly recollects, “We had the joy of playing with traditional toys and interacting face-to-face with friends and family, cherishing the value of genuine connections. Our childhood memories are filled with hours spent outdoors, exploring nature and using our imagination to create fun-filled adventures.”
However, the digital revolution rapidly unfolded as they matured, introducing them to a whole new way of living. “We were the pioneers of the internet, witnessing its humble beginnings and being part of its exponential growth.
The advent of smartphones and social media connected us with people worldwide, broadening our perspectives and expanding our knowledge in unimaginable ways,” shares Mayorspeaks.
One of the most remarkable attributes of this generation is their ability to bridge the gap between the analog and digital worlds. They embrace the convenience and efficiency of technology while appreciating the significance of unplugging and spending quality time with loved ones. This balanced approach allows them to derive the best of both worlds, ensuring they remain grounded in their roots while adapting to the dynamic demands of the modern age.
“Our unique experiences as a generation have also fostered a sense of resilience and adaptability. We have witnessed numerous societal and technological shifts, which have instilled in us the ability to face challenges with an open mind and a willingness to learn. This has been crucial in navigating an ever-changing world, enabling us to stay relevant and contribute positively to society,” notes Mayorspeaks.
