They also identify the technologies of game as essential for companies to grab the attention of their generation.

• Sustainability and the environment all connect: Organizations that help improve the environment and prioritize sustainability are allies of the new generation. Centenarians appreciate, care and immerse themselves in these initiatives and are more likely to support companies that also reflect and act on these principles.

• The Metaverse is the new Internet of the 90s: To them, the metaverse is similar to how the internet was in the 1990s, in that they are unsure of its full potential, but believe organizations should prioritize its discovery. Furthermore, they see the metaverse as the place where their generation can digitally claim their authentic identities.
