Abstract
The rise of the Internet makes information spread more widely and rapidly and its influence more powerful. This generation is significantly different from the previous generation. Studying the impact of the media on the new generation can help people understand how this information shapes their values and behavior patterns. Their consumption habits and market behavior have an essential impact on business and economic development. Similarly, in terms of achievement, it is also different from the previous focus. The reception ability and collective consciousness of this generation have changed unexpectedly. In short, studying the impact of media on the Generation Z is essential to understanding this generation’s characteristics and behavior patterns. This can help people better adapt to and respond to the changes in the digital age, provide them with better education, business, and social services, and make faster adaptation. The Generation Z age group, which is currently the largest population group and is anticipated to become the most important consumer group in the future, is the subject of this essay. This study gathers and analyzes opinions about Generation Z from a survey of people.
