WHY THE "Y"
This is the full story... now we can understand it all .
People born before 1936 were calledthe Depression Generation .
People born before 1946,The Silent and Powerful Generation .
People born between 1946 and 1964 are calledThe Baby Boomers
People born between 1965 and 1979 are called Generation X
And people born between 1980 and 2012 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
