Generation Y
Posted: Sat Jul 02, 2011 12:53 amI'm taking this from a blog that I read called "The Bayfield Bunch". Al is a delightful curmudgeon & has what he calls a "Groaner's Corner". This was in today's post:
People born before 1946 were called The Silent generation..
- People born between 1946 and 1964 are called The Baby Boomers.
- People born between 1965 and 1979 are called Generation X, .
- And people born between 1980 and 2010 are called Generation 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...
