Uggh you can google the articles. I've always felt they're different from us and have more similarities with kids born in the late 70s.


So what exactly is the point of creating a thread to discuss it, if you cant be arsed to post the article you wanting to have opinions on?. But thanks my interest in the topic has just decreased dramatically now.

I agree with the article. I think we had the best of both worlds growing up to the age of 15 I would say, I was a child, enjoyed the childish games outdoors and indoors etc. I think we got our first computer around 1986/7 thereabouts remember this would of been dos. We talking floppy drives here LOL...... And yes then came the "new generation" of sitting on the pc with the likes of space quest and kings quest (much like a kid these days will play x-box etc.

I started my first job in 1996 and they were only then really installing "proper" internet, networks etc etc..... So I feel that putting a label on those years is agreeable because lets face it we were the change over generation. I am from 1977 so I probably just make it into this category.

The problem I have with Gen Y is that their interpersonal skills are severely lacking.
