Generation Y: The Millennial Generation

 

Generation Y: The Millennial Generation - "Generation Y, born between 1976-1995 or 1988-2001 depending on the source, is vastly different from previous generations - especially Boomers. Members of Gen Y cut their teeth on computer keyboards, and to them, computer technology and the Internet are as natural as breathing. This generation's members know more about digital technology than their parents or teachers, and this promises to change not only the way families interact and communicate, but also how young people relate to school and learning."
