Text : Simon Sinek on Millennials in the workplace 

Text Type : Interview on Youtube ( inside quest)

Purpose : To help understand millennials and improve wellbeing through reducing screen time


Today as a  class, we watched Simon Sinek talk about millennials in the workplace. In this video Simon explained how to help understand millennials and also to improve wellbeing by reducing screen time. He explained how millennials were so caught up in things that aren’t important because they are always on devices, but instead they could be innovative, and see the bigger things in life. He talked about some ways we could help reduce millennials from screen time. He said a lot of examples of how millennials could be so impatient, that sometimes if they want something, they want it now, and they also want their phones 24/7 because they have become addicted to social media or whatever is on the phone. Reason why he is talking about this topic is because, it could affect their wellbeing when older because they might be spending more time on social media and less time on school work, they could fail in classes and subjects which is not good for them. He talks about how your phone can be next to you, and even if you're so focused on something else, your phone can still distract you from what you're doing even if it’s important. But if you're not distracted by your phone, you can look around you and you feel like you can see the world revolving around you, you feel different.  This was a really good video to watch because I can relate to this topic, because I am also anti-social, and I feel weird without technology nowadays. But I believe that this topic is an important one for millennials especially because some don’t know the effects of always being distracted by technology and that they can’t see the bigger and important things around them.

  1. Hi Rarotonga. I really like your blog post. I like the way you summarised the text. I really connected with the picture as it helped me to visualise who was speaking. Maybe next time you could include a critical literacy question.
