Gen Z is the demographic cohort following the millennials, which in much simpler terms, means those born after the mid-90s.

This generation is the most evolved form of humans ever, and what makes them stand out from the previous generations is their early exposure to the internet. Since they are living in a world of constant upgrades, their attention spans are comparatively short, which makes them less focused, but at the same time, it makes them more efficient.
