People born before 1946 were calledThe Silent and powerful generation..
- People born between 1946 and 1964 are calledThe Baby Boomers.
- People born between 1965 and 1979 are calledGeneration X, .
-And people born between 1980 and 2010 are calledGeneration Y,
Why do we call the last group Generation Y? Y should I get a job? Y should I leave home and find my own place? Y should I get a car when I can borrow yours? Y should I clean my room? Y should I wash and iron my own clothes? Y should I buy any food?
But a cartoonist explained it very eloquently below...

The other generations only lasted about 15 years or so but 30 years for the Y generation I think is a bit long.
Maybe from about the year 2000 onwards it should be a new generation.
Maybe Generation "I"......for the Ipad, Iphone, Imac, Itunes, IT, etc.
