DCs´ 2017 Trend #4 Gen "Z" how they will (ARE) impacting DCs industry

They are our children or grand children or grand grand children, they born in late 1999 and next years will embrace the world with a more focus attitude; they use 3,4 screens at the same time (X-box, tablet, lap, smart phone,...) everything goes virtual and need some grounding to understand reality. They learn ON LINE, and like to download any file, movie at ligth speed , they will drive the autonomous (Teslas or not) car in highways in the next 6-7 years. They are  just 25% /7,500,000,000 people on planet Earth. So we should take them in consideration for business portfolio?  one word -YES-

DCs industry will grow -also- because this Gen "Z", because everything the think, read, buy, need is ON LINE and those activities -transmission, computation, storage are located -sooner or later- in a mission critical facility called Data Centre. 

Of course mobility is the KEY word for all these teenager becoming young adults in few years; they use internet, IoT and generate BIG DATA every single week or weekend in any mall, park, store, museum, school, home around the world,

So keep an eye in them , adjust your Business Digital Transformation, be sensible to Corporate Social Responsibility -they are deeply interested in our environment quality- and made all of these issues in an integrated way 

Gen "Z"   has arrived, BE PREPARE!     or what do you think?
