What are some characteristics of Generation Z?

I have a project for school when I have to bring pictures of characteristics of Gen Z, and the examples they give me are food, music, fashion, technology, and major events. So far I have a picture of UGGs, Obama, the Apple logo, the Facebook logo, the iPad, 2 parents yelling at their rebellious teenage girl, a lightbulb with like a plant inside it that shows going green, and skinny jeans. Any suggestions for pictures?

Update:

And what are examples of food and music? I should totally do justin bieber though that would be funny :)

    It's basically an extension of Generation Y (the Millenials). People today listen to the same kind of music and dress the same way people did in 1999.

    I would say that Generation Z is nicer than Generation Y, which is a good thing. Music for Generation Y was more hardcore and violent than now. People like pop music now, whereas it was hated 10 years ago. People love Britney Spears and Michael Jackson now. They hated them 10 years ago. They're much more environmental and open-minded.

    Generation Z are not that big into gaming the way Generation Y was. Most Generation Z'ers prefer to hang out more. Also, they have social networking and this makes people be much more understanding. Barack Obama being President is also a great example. People are growing in a more multicultural environment in America. Also, the "Great Recession" is a part of Generation Z. It's changed everything, from fuel-efficient cars to more efficient everything. People are more money-conscious than before.

    Generation Z is a generation that has access to so much information through wikipedia and google. It's amazing, actually. The only thing is, that we're reaching an age where there's so much information that it's impossible to do everything. It wasn't like that 15 or 20 years ago. Information seemed more manageable then. You would think that having access to everything would make people more learned, but in some ways, it can also be distracting. It can make people lazy. At the same time, there's so much potential for new ideas to come about, so I am hopeful that we will continue to evolve and create new cultures.

    All in all, I think it's a good generation and I do think they're headed in the right direction. Sometimes I think America's Generation Z is too nice and perhaps that makes things more vulnerable when they face a world that is not so nice.

    To answer your question, yeah, your suggestions are good. I might put in Lady Gaga, iTunes, Avatar (the movie), and American Idol, Nintendo Wii/Xbox 360/PS3, and HDTV's.

    Bugatti worlds fastest production car. And since you have skinny jeans you should get Justin Bieber with skinny jeans lol.

    EDIT: I don't know about food. Everything now is just fast food. And for music well you could have young teen singers like ummmm. Justin Bieber or Miley Cyrus. Teen stars are becoming more and more popular than ever before
