The first section of the paper underlines the aspects related the literature review, regarding the evolution of the society in relation to the usage of information and communication technology form the end of the second world war (the baby boomers) to the present (Millennials and the Net Generation). The second part of the paper is presenting the results of a secondary data analysis regarding the usage of the online environment and the consumer behaviour by Romanian individuals to the age of 34 years old. We underlined aspects related to pre-purchase online behaviour, post purchase online behaviour, search information behaviour, and device use in an online environment.
