Gen Z is drinking data from a digital firehose. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
The first digitally native generation \u2014 those born between 1997 and 2012 \u2014 Generation Z is bearing the brunt of a data explosion that\u2019s expanded to the point that nobody truly knows how much we are creating, sharing, and consuming. All we know, despite estimates dating back more than a decade, is that it\u2019s getting harder and harder for people to wrap their heads around the massive amount of digital information landing in their inboxes, Slack<\/a> channels, and web browsers each day. And all that data is stressing out even the most technically literate young people among us.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Fortunately, educators, leaders, and organizations are making new resources available every day to help alleviate this anxiety and find ways to empower younger generation to use data to solve problems and live better lives \u2014 a trend that will need to continue because the data literacy problem isn\u2019t going away.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
