Generation Z (Continued)

This is a follow-up to the Nikkei article on Gen Z that I posted yesterday.

Here’s a nostalgic website from 2014 where we interviewed and featured Gen Z members active both in Japan and abroad—including Mr. Yagura, who was hailed as a “genius programmer” during his middle school years (as mentioned in the article) and is now a graduate student. http://withnet.coもちろんその頃はZ世代という言葉はありませんでしたが. And Ms. Yagura was 16 years old at the time.
The PDF below might be a better way to view the list. It really hits home again just how amazing they all are!
