A generation of gamers

Millennials, Gen Z, Gen A and so on ā€” the younger generations of today have grown up in a world that has become more and more technological.

Today, many kids grow up with an iPad as one of their favourite toys and start to play games before they can talk. They are a generation of gamers.

As the younger generation grows up, all generations will have the same technological (though more and more advanced) background.

Learning through games

Not everyone is as happy about the technological era weā€™re in and how itā€™s affecting our children. While it is easy to look at the negatives, it is also important to take a moment to look at all of the positive outcomes. As long as there are some boundaries in place and children know how to stay safe online, games and apps can be a great part of their upbringing.

With the use of modern technology, children can learn how to solve puzzles, count, learn a new language and so on through games. It can be used to make their free time less ā€œmind-numbingā€ than just watching television, and it can help them to develop their memory, creativity and more.

Games in school and at work

As this generation starts in school, games and modern activities can continue to be good tools. Many schools use iPads or other tablets in their learning these days, with lots of apps and games developed specifically for learning.

Of course, it doesnā€™t stop there. As the younger generation continues to grow, technology will keep developing and take an even bigger role in their lives. Even today, many jobs are based solely on modern technology and that will continue to evolve in the future. While technology might become more work than play, games can still be a part of the leisure time of adults.

Modern casino solutions

Many gamers who started out playing online games as youngsters might move on to enjoy poker or other online casino games as adults. The casino industry is growing in popularity. Technology within the industry also continues to evolve. Today, youā€™ll find pages that list new phenomena like the best PayPal Casino. Whoā€™s to say what helpful comparison sites of the future will list?

Games for the whole family

As the younger generation grows up and an increasingly larger majority of the population has grown up with modern technology, the gap between the young and adults might become smaller. Today, not everyone in the older generation is as tech-savvy and appreciative of online games as they didnā€™t grow up with them. In the future, this wonā€™t be the case.

Looking to the future, we imagine families enjoying quality time together with fun games that everyone is familiar with. Technology doesnā€™t have to be a bad thing at all, as it can actually bring people closer together. Of course, technology will keep evolving, so it is difficult to know for sure if there will still be a generational gap or not. Who knows what the generation 20 years from now will think when they look back at our day and age?
