If you are 45, you have no idea what you DON'T know about the younger generations.How does non-stop exposure to cat videos, TED talks, influencers, weirdos and high achievers -all in rapid succession- shape a Millennial's understanding of the human experience? The answer: A lot! How does spending 10,000 hours in video game worlds by the time your 20, affect your expectations for the real world? How does having instant access to porn since childhood affect your sexuality? And why are Millennials obsessed with 'meta' ness whether they know it or not? These are few of the issues I tackle, in a very snarky, meme-filled, and well-researched way. My name is Dario CiVon, a 25 year-old Author and Digital Artist, who was somehow able to concentrate long enough to write a book about Millennials and the up-and-coming Gen Z. A book that skips the fluff, and cuts straight to the heart of the culture-gap between us and the ‘oldz'. This is the stuff your niece or nephew probably wish they could say, but it would simply take too long, or be far too awkward. The hard to explain stuff about the ‘Internet Effect', ‘Social Media Effect', ‘Videogame Effect' and 'Marijuana Effect'. Don't worry, I speak adult fluently. I promise you will come away seeing your kids and co-workers in a new light.I also take a very deep dive into the ‘Great College Debate' that's raging in America. Are colleges still worth it in 2019? How should a kid balance getting an education and discovering themselves, while not breaking the bank? I offer some extremely practical advice on how to navigate the very tricky period between the ages of 19-24 that every family needs to consider.QUOTES FROM EARLY READERS: "Dario is providing the connective tissue between young people and everyone else. The hard to explain stuff we all need to know." - 65, Errol Gerson, Principle Management Strategist, Gerson Consulting Group, Professor at Art Center College
