Inside The Millennial Mind The Rapid Rise Of New Generation

Everyone seems to be talking about Millennials today. It’s not just because they are the largest generation by population size – though that certainly doesn’t hurt. It’s because we’re all fascinated with them – news coverage, political campaigns, and of course, marketers trying to figure out how to reach them. But beyond their size, what is it about this generation that has everyone so captivated? It’s their unique sense of self (for lack of a better word), their surprisingly optimistic outlook on life (despite the harsh economic realities they face), and their less than traditional approach to life stages.

From Farm To Chocolate Bar

Cocoa is usually grown on small family owned plots of land, although there are some plantations being established in Asia. In Ghana the main species of cocoa grown is called Forastero, and plantations account for only 1% of cocoa production there.

Most Ghanaian cocoa is grown on small family farms, typically of between 2-3 hectares. It is usually intercropped with other plants and trees, such as plantains (part of the banana family), maize and spices. These not only provide shade whilst the young cocoa trees are growing but can also provide up to 65% of the family's own food supply, as well as additional income.

Smartphone Screen Time: Baby Boomers And Millennials

Millennials have a reputation for being glued to their devices. But does their smartphone use really differ that much from other generations? To find out, Provision Living surveyed 1,000 millennial and 1,000 baby boomer iPhone users. Each respondent was asked to go into their screen time settings and record their average daily screen time.

They were then asked to record the amount of time spent on their most frequently used iPhone applications. The study revealed that both generations have similar patterned phone use—from the total amount of screen time logged daily to the most time-sucking apps. The average person spends 5.4 hours each day on their smartphone. Breaking that down by generation: baby boomers spend an average of 5 hours daily on their phones, only slightly below millennials who clock in at 5.7 hours of daily screen time.

The figures seem like a lot. In fact, they surprised 82 percent of respondents who thought their daily usage would be below that national average of 5.4 hours. So where does the time go? Both generations’ responses indicated that social media consumes the bulk of their daily screen time. Millennials log an average of 69 minutes a day on their Facebook app, while boomers are right behind them logging an average of 60 minutes on Facebook. Both generations’ second most popular app is Instagram, with millennials recording 52 minutes on Instagram daily, and boomers logging 44 minutes.

From there, the generations start to differ. It may come as no surprise that millennials’ third most time-absorbing application is text messaging. Young adults spend three quarters of an hour messaging people they know, and an additional 41 minutes, on average, talking on the phone. Baby boomers, on the other hand, spend their time using e-mail and messenger apps before sending text messages or talking on their phone. At the end of the day, both generations spend a fair amount of time surfing the internet on their phones. Nowadays, roughly 60 percent of adults use their smartphone as their primary internet service provider. Americans have grown accustomed, if not dependent on their smartphone.

That overwhelming majority of respondents, some 94 percent, believe that smartphone addiction is a real thing. People have a hard time being away from their devices, fearing missed calls and messages even in the middle of the night. The survey revealed that nine out of ten people sleep with the phone within arm’s reach of them in bed. Even after learning just how much time they spend each and every day, staring at, watching and listening to their devices, two in three people say they have no plan to cut back on their daily screen time.

 Apple has tried to draw attention to people’s apparent dependency on their smartphones by creating pop-up alerts tracking whether a user’s screen time is “up” or “down” from previous weeks. But this study revealed that even with that information, consumers are still going to type, talk, watch, Tweet, and everything else under the sun on their phones without any major concerns.

What Goes Up In a Down Economy

What could tattoos, luxury retail, and candy possibly have in common? Well, from an economic perspective, they are all part of industries that seem to do exceptionally well even during downturns – but why? Moving through fairly predictable phases, the state of the economy may once in a while through us a curveball.

Impending recessions leading to a potential depression leaves our economy and personal financials in shambles. The stock market crash of 1933 brought on the Great Depression and an unemployment rate of 25%; decades later, the Great Recession was triggered when the subprime mortgage bubble burst, some effects of which we are still dealing with to this day. Yet even in the face of such economic uncertainty, there is always enough pocket change for a treat.

 From our vices to necessities, here’s more on the industries that survive and thrive during economic dips, what we can learn from their success, and use those lessons to help our own business succeed no matter the economy.

Secrets to Living Longer: What We Can Learn from Blue Zones

By 2050, it is predicted that earth will be home to over 3.5 million centenarians, that is, people over the age of 100.

Blue Zones are understood as geographic areas of particular good health and longevity.
