5 Ways Technology Is Impacting Picky Millennials
There is no denying that the millennial generation is a wild and peculiar bunch, one that embraces the moniker of digital natives even though some were born before the digital revolution, and one that tends to be described as highly picky at times. From the way they take care of themselves in terms of health and fitness, to their ability to resign from a company at the slightest whiff of inequality or injustice, handling and managing millennials is a tough challenge.
Particularly, the millennial bunch are a tech-driven group. Technology has become an inextricable part of the millennial lifestyle over the years, impacting the way they live, laugh, and work on a daily basis. Let’s take a look at how technology is impacting picky millennials and how you can turn this information into actionable insights.
The way they make important life decisions
Unlike their parents and grandparents, millennials have completely integrated technology into their everyday life. Consequently, this has made technology an inextricable part of the millennial’s decision-making process in every regard, for better or worse. Mainly, millennials are using technology to obtain information that will influence their every decision, from asking Alexa if they need an umbrella to searching for online reviews of employers they’re interested in.
This is good, this means that millennials are hungry for information that will allow them to make a data-driven decision, a quality that becomes increasingly important for a generation that has stepped into parenthood itself. The ability to base every decision on the instant availability of nuanced information has the potential to create a more sustainable and secure environment for the entire family.
The way they communicate at work and beyond
Workplace communication has evolved greatly over the decades, and nowadays it looks nothing like the communication structures you would have seen in the office environments of the 20th century. Change is oftentimes good, and for the millennial, revolutionizing workplace communication definitely was a necessity. However, it’s important to note that innovative communication methods can create a rift between the generations in a company.
Concretely, millennials thrive on real-time chats and messaging apps, as well as continuous video communication that allows them to collaborate with their colleagues efficiently and effectively. While this is a good thing for the overall productivity of a company, it does mean that business leaders need to invest in training and educating the older generations in the company to allow them to catch up and assimilate themselves into the new environment.
Influencing the learning process
The availability and accessibility of the world’s complete knowledge base has created a generation that cherishes a desire for lifelong education and growth. Quite simply, millennials need and want to learn throughout their lives in order to discover themselves, and pass the knowledge on to their children. Seeing as how millennials are now the parent generation as well, technology becomes an even more important part of their life.
Education has migrated into the digital realm, and nowadays you will see millennial parents using online methods to educate their children, such as online English tutoring or any other form of digital education, as knowledge is widely available no matter the subject or the location. This means that millennials and their children are increasingly learning through the internet, which for all its benefits requires caution, as there is a need to obtain knowledge through credible sources only.
Redefining the concept of work-life balance
In the old, pre-digital days when technology wasn’t as widely adopted as it is today, there was a distinct line separating the professional and personal lives of an individual. You would punch in your time card in the morning, and punch out in the afternoon, forgetting all about your job until the next day.
Nowadays, though, this line has become blurred or even nonexistent as the continuous connectivity makes it easier for millennials to carry their work with them throughout the day, effectively redefining the traditional work-life balance concept.
How, when, and where they work
Speaking of work, technology has also become an inextricable park of the modern workplace, but it has also granted the millennial employee the ability to dictate when, where, and how they do their job. Remote work is becoming increasingly popular across the commercial realm, as both the millennial workforce and its employers stand to benefit from a more flexible arrangement. The millennial gets the freedom they need to thrive while the employer is able to cut extraneous overhead expenses and optimize payroll over the long term.
Final thoughts
The millennial generation is often described as picky and entitled when in reality, they are simply changing traditional doctrines and disrupting the old way of life. With the technological revolution well under way, the only thing employers and business leaders can do is to appeal to the millennial generation and capitalize on their unique, tech-driven habits.

How Millennials Are Shaping the Mobile App Usage Today
The millennial population is a force to be reckoned with. It is making big waves in the digital world and its influence is constantly expanding. Namely, those born between 1980 and 1999 have grown up with the internet and remain passionate about its role in life.
What is more, the vast majority of them uses mobile phones, readily interacts with brands, and makes frequent online purchases. They feel like natives in the booming digital realm and want nothing short of a stellar experience. This has a profound effect on the burgeoning app market.
It is all about the experience
Millennials are adept app users and see the mobile web as an inferior way to enjoy their time. They are also quite tech-savvy and possess a substantial buying power. Hence, they seek to meet practical goals like scoring discounts or shopping while away from the computer. Apart from that, Millennials are also eager lifestyle consumers.
That is to say that their app behavior closely corresponds to their sense of identity and life choices in general. Simply put, they yearn to become part of something bigger, a story that resonates with them personally. This state of digital affairs gives preference to apps with an immersive, contextual, and interactive experience, as well as those that put the user in control.
We can see how different communities opt for apps that speak to their lived-in experiences of the world. For example, there is a wide range of Muslim apps for prayer times, religious scripts, restaurant recommendations, mosque maps, Quran lessons, etc. Contrary to that, trying to appeal to all population segments at once is not an overly viable strategy.
A blend of convenience and value
Developers who mean business have to look beyond face value as well. They are innovating in order to cater to their shifting preferences and profit on immense rates of tech adoption. After all, it all boils down to unique utility and value that app holds and its ability to stimulate the senses. Apps must blend relevance, intuitiveness, and prime quality.
Furthermore, it should be noted that millennials value convenience over price. They don’t mind spending money on apps and related purchases, especially if they have a chance to virtually interact with a product/service (via virtual and augmented reality, for example). That is why they represent a coveted target group for retailers and other businesses.
These brands invest substantial resources in conducting extensive market research (with the help of big data and predictive analytics). Past experiences and behavior are analyzed and based on these insights, they deploy customer segmentation and marketing strategies.
Key to success
Moving on, Millennials Embrace online payment and want fast and secure gateways to complete transactions.
They seem to adore solutions like mobile wallets, which feature a customized and social experience. Interestingly enough, research has also revealed that utility apps such as Amazon and Gmail are used more than social and entertainment apps in the league of Facebook. FB Messenger, WhatsApp, YouTube, and Google Maps are also rank high.
Many other brands and businesses are developing their own native apps in an attempt to understand and capture millennial consumers. Those that succeed do so thanks to a smooth, personalized experience. Accomplished developers know how to eliminate points of friction alongside the consumer journey and trigger a fear of missing out (FOMO).
Their products dominate major app marketplaces of today.
Conclusion
To Millennials, app usage is like second nature. They are highly-attuned to the cyber world, hungry for experiences, are spoilt for choice. Add to that sheer numbers and buying power and what you have is a driving force behind the app market’s boom and revolution.
So, it does not come as a surprise that brands go to great lengths to deliver a superior quality service. They must find a way to tailor products to specific wants and needs and infuse them with value and convenience. The success ultimately hinges on the ability to build meaningful connections and offer ever higher levels of personalization and immersion.
