Recently, I The Wall Street Journal i ran an article about businesses having to adjust their training as a new generation 17 million strong enters the workforce. In a previous column ("Creativity and the iGens", I The National Teaching & Learning Forum i , V27N4, 2018, pp. 7-9), we examined the successors to the college population of millennials called variously iGens, Gen Z, and Screenagers. According to [12], iGens were born "in 1995 and later, they grew up with cell phones, had an Instagram page before they started high school, and do not remember a time before the Internet" (p. 2). Particularly important is true I empathy i with the iGens' situation and feelings, which calls for creativity, as this generation prefers texting over face-to-face communication.
