They speak a different language. Their engagement with one another and
the world has a different rhythm and voice. They are globally mobile,
technologically advanced and brave of heart and conviction. Their heroes
and mentors come from the past but their vision is rooted in
possibility. They ask the important questions, they use their logic and
rationale but their actions are informed by an explicit sense of
belonging and ownership. They are cognizant of the deficits yet refuse
to be shattered by them. They are intuitive and brilliant beyond the
stretches of our tired and worn down imaginations. They see the world
through their own sense of time and space. And while I secretly fear
that their fearlessness highlights my own obsolescence, I am awed by
their mettle. They are the independence generation.
