How Millennials will save our future generations. | Duy Doan | TEDxHotelschoolTheHague

Duy Doan is a final year student at Hotelschool The Hague who proposes an outlook on impact of technology on the upcoming generations. He addresses the potential downsides of it and how it will be a big, but a possible task for millennials, to maintain a healthy balance between online and offline interaction. As he witnessed daily life before and after the technological boom just like other millennials, he explains how one can make a significant impact on sustaining true essences of life for younger generations. Duy Doan is a student at Hotelschool The Hague and has worked in the hospitality industry for over four years. He is currently in the final stage of his bachelor studies and aspires to run his own consultancy business in Asia in the future. He recently wrote a report about “the conscious and excessive time spent at home”, a trend he formulated and underpinned for the elective “Trends & Future Hospitality Analysis”. The report addresses several aspects, for instance the behavioral changes of Generation Z and younger in specific. He achieved the highest grade within his elective and was encouraged by his lecturers to further investigate this matter. From a young age, Duy was confronted with technology and quickly realized the positive, as well as negative impacts on him. As technology was still quite underdeveloped for the consumer, most of his time was spent “offline” and technology was just an enabler to have fun and to work efficiently. As time has passed, he acknowledged the fact that technology had an increasing influence on his thoughts, hence his feelings and behaviors. All of it boiled up during his last vacation in Asia, where he suddenly realized, that our society is on the verge of a significant change and how the “flow of information” might have a different impact than expected. This talk was given at a TEDx event using the TED conference format but independently organized by a local community. Learn more at https://www.ted.com/tedx
