No, it'll be as selfish and unforesighted as every generation before and after. I mean, it doesn't even have a cool name. Like the Baby Boomers, they make it sound as though their parents were horny bastards. It sound slike we're asking a question in txt.

I know all this because I am a Generation Y(er)

Not really, because just look at the Middle East or China and you'll see that there alot of people coming of age that will have completely opposite opinions than we do.

But in the Middle East they are tought to be hatefull towards the west and they are being tought radical islam witch are generation will have to fight them..With China they will probaly turn over their goverment one day and democracy will follow!

As am I...but I think we're kind of cool.

I mean some of us from I think 1989 to whatever are in the subgeneration iGeneration.

That's some cool beans.

Generation Y is and will be more do it yourself you old Geezer more than any other.

Generation Y also seems to mean you can't string together a single sentence without misspelling at least one word, and not a paragraph without egregious grammatical errors that render it illegible.

You can keep your "Y," thank you very much.

No kidding on the name thing-no identity until you get a better name. It's not even trying hard and misses the point of calling Generation X Generation X. It's not that the Baby Boomers where Generation W and we just dropped the auxillary name.

Get a better name and then we can talk about your impact.

Gen Xer, if you find yourself taking this post too seriously, remember that...

That was also a point many kids of this generation belive why fix something when a computer can do it for you...And i wonder what this new generation will think..."ALL HAIL THE COMPUTERS" that sounds right!

See, still illegible. Write as if you went to school, please.

Though I fall within that age group, I don't associate with the term. Generation Y is devoted to finding ways to forge an identity in a reality where information is thrown all over the place. Everyone tries to find some sort of banner to stand under. If this keeps up, we'll be even worse than our predecessors in our blatant tribalism and segregation habits.

Wow. It actually hurt me to write like that.

You failed, but at least got the capitalisation quite close ("computer" is almost always not a proper noun). Please look up the apostrophe, for starters.

It is something I've noticed about The Youth Of Today, even at work; they really can't write proper English (and, as I'm in England, that's a useful ability). 'Course, many people my age (mid-20s) can't be bothered to do so, either.

Why should other people bother to read what you write, if you can't be bothered to write it properly in the first place?

?? That doesnt make any sence? What do you mean by that..
He was laughing at the self-evident truth it declared.

Which brings me to a curious extra point on this "Generation Y".

Is there a greater amount of cultural elitism in this generation than in most of our predecessors?

But in the Middle East they are tought to be hatefull towards the west and they are being tought radical islam witch are generation will have to fight them..With China they will probaly turn over their goverment one day and democracy will follow!

Yeah, that's a generalization. I'm more pessimistic about my generation than anything, but I guess that's only natural; you'll be more critical of your own.

You'd have to measure up to Beats who read poetry in basements while drinking wine out of cracked mugs and mashing religions together to fit their liking. That's a hard act to follow in that catagory.

Only if you happen to pronounce those anything like each other.

This is part of the topic. Generation Y is often referred to as the MySpace Generation due to the way it communicates, and the noticeable drop in standards of language is a trait that has become stereotypical of people of our age.

Anyway, what's so difficult about spelling on the internet? Is there something magical about sitting in front of a keyboard connected by wires to millions of others that makes people incapable of assembling words correctly?

Only if you happen to pronounce those anything like each other.
I've met lots of people you might otherwise consider intelligent who get the two confused. I'm not sure why, but I suppose the contraction "-'ve" (eg. "could've") does sound a bit like "of" ("could of", urgh) in the English spoken herabouts. Of course, as soon as you think about it it's obviously broken, so why it gets written like that...

I completely forgot about the contraction form. Yeah, pretty much everyone I've talked to over here says it that way ("could of").

But you have to be pretty vacant to think they're actually saying the word "of" in that, anyway.

No their is nothing wrong with spelling online..Its just I dont like looking over work because I dont know anyone and they dont know me and the never will. Also Im not lazy but I dont feel like checking over my work but I school I care... And their is no spell check..

And I dont like the name Myspace Generation...Myspace wasnt even alive when we were born and became a fad after our generation date was over 1977 or 1985-1999 or 2000

But you have to be pretty vacant to think they're actually saying the word "of" in that, anyway.
When speaking they get the benefit of the doubt. When writing they remove the doubt.

No their is nothing wrong with spelling online...

Somebody stick a fork in my eye...

Being born in 1983, I hate being grouped in with those born in the '90s and late '80s (usually the definition of generation Y covers the early 80s, not just 85 onward). They're stupid prosta-tots and selfish brats for the most part.

And yet I've seen it so often. I'VE SEEN IT. SO. OFTEN! Why? Why must it be? You don't see anyone using 'I of', why are other contractions of 'have' so difficult?

you can hang out at the end of Gen-X with me. ;)

I am hovering between Gen-X the MTVgeneration, and apparently the Millennials (according to a book I read because I graduated in a certain year then I jumped up a generation even though everyone born in my birth year is in the other, and my birthday was 2 months late so I started K when I was almost 6 instead of barely 5.)

Oh, and also according to Wiki I'm part of the MTV generation and the boomerang generation. I really don't consider myself part of an MTV generation, since I live in Canada and MTV wasn't available here until very recently, nor was I permitted to watch its canadian equivalent, muchmusic, until I was in my mid-teens (my mom feared that it would corrupt us or some such garbage)

Communication standards are not about getting grades. They are about relaying thoughts, ideas and concepts in a way that is comfortable to the reader. If you stick to the standards, the reader needs to do less work in order to understand what you're trying to tell them. It is courtesy and manners, not mere bureaucracy, that linguistic rules and conventions exist to uphold.

If you choose to ignore these rules, the inevitable result is that other people need to make a conscious effort to decrypt what you're trying to say. If you're going to be lazy about it and you constantly shift this burden of effort on to your readers, be prepared to have your views tossed aside.

That's right. Well, maybe as an aside - but you'd've been helping to demonstrate that Gen. Y-types are literate after all.

Yes, of course, because the whole world follows ignorant western stereotypes. Oh, I'm sorry, am I stereotyping you now?

Dude, China is not this totalitarianist dictatorship of evil kitten-eaters that most people think it is. While it is a dictatorship, it is a modern and very nice country to live in. It even has all the capitalist imperialist comforts of Starbucks and Mcdonalds.

Hey,better than a third world dictatorship.

Though it still aims missles at Tawain and hates the U.S and has proven to give rockets to hezbolla because they know the U.S loves Israel. And they turned the U.S market into a dirty string names wall mart!

You're confusing China for Iran, now. China hasn't supplied any rockets to Hezbollah. They don't care much about Israel either way.

Though it still aims missles at Tawain and hates the U.S and has proven to give rockets to hezbolla because they know the U.S loves Israel. And they turned the U.S market into a dirty string names wall mart!
Suddenly, the entire train of discussion leading up to this point makes sense.

Though it still aims missles at Tawain

We know that they really want Taiwan.

and hates the U.S

Whoa, whoa, whoa. Take some Ritalin before you make yourself look like more of an ass.

Yes too a point...But if China had to pick sides it would be the terrorist because the U.S is too mutch of a "threat" to them. And do you see terrorist bombing china...NO...because the terrorist know if they make China mad then China will wipe them off earth. Opps Im getting of topic...Though this post shows I know how to spell.

Oh,boo-hoo,poor American economy... Well,get it over it and work to better it,if you have such a problem with the Chinese wanting to better their own economy.Hey,wasn't it Capitalism that taught dynamic competition was a basis of a good economy?

And as if the Americans have never sold weapons to terrorist groups,dictatorships or other not so nice people...*Cough Iran-Contra Deal Cough*

And as if you haven't pointed missles at various countries you have considered your enemies...*Cough Missles in Turkey against Soviets Cough*

Wasn't this about 'Generation Y' a few posts ago?

Wow, I know I shouldn't be posting this on principle on how stupid the reply was... You are seriously immature.

Trust me i am very mature for my age....It was only a joke!!!........Im not stupid either..Though I may sound stupid at times im not

Blond...blue eyed...tall...OH MY GOD!YOU NAZI!!!

Just kidding.:p

Whaaaat? :eek:

Just cuz I lust after those sexy, desirable, hot tall blonde Swedes doesn't mean I want to erase all diversity from the face of the world, you know :p

I'm not crazy, I know I don't make the cut myself.

(I never quite got *how* a puny skinbag with slick black hair and dark eyes EVER got everyone convinced tall, muscular, blonde-haired blue eyed men were the superior caste)

Read what you wrote. Think about it. ;)

We got stuck with "Generation Y"?

Thanks.:rolleyes:

How did we get stuck? Was it a bad title?

Isn't it Simon Cowell?


And what other mean British people are on TV?

Well, if it wasn't for your generation's preference for TXTSPEEK and lack of punctuation you might've got "Generation... Why?". Be thankful for small mercies :p

How did we get stuck? Was it a bad title?

Well, it is kinda a ripoff of Generation X, is it not?

You wiki article shows that there is allot of overlap with Generation Y. I'd think that The Internet Generation would be a more apt name.

Read what you wrote. Think about it. ;)

When you put it that way...

Isn't it Simon Cowell?

The guy from "America's Got Talen" the head chef from "Hells Kitchen" the guy from some dare show on comedy central..


Also this is my 200 post!!!! Yaaaaaa

Generation Y sounds like a pair of underpants.
At least GenX had a bit of a ring to it.

Oh, I assumed that you misspelled North...
Norsk is Norwegian for Norwegian. Norsk English has a real American spin on it to the extent that they'll often use American spelling; hence, Norsk American. It's a bit of a play on words that I hoped the Swedish Baguetten might have picked up on. >_>;

You quoted him.

Ok Genreration Y is one of the recent generations!!!! From the years 1985-1999 or something around that...As are generation is maturing the world around them has changed starting around the dawn of the 21st century..Do you think that this generation is uniqe? Could this generation set the world strait again? By fixing Global Warming,Terrorism(Islamic Facist),Cutting down forest? Well some dont belive that. Studies show that this generation is the most drugged generation is HISTORY...We are also the fattest(At least in the U.S). Are generation are mostly zombies drueling of their keyboards like me.. Will we be able to live a life like are parents or will we be doomed by current events and future events! Some good news is that this generation isnt as racist as past generations.We are more carring and dont really care about race..We are smarter then ever but still lazy..We see all our parents mistakes and vow to make sure we dont make those crazy mistakes that are parents made? But is this generation y the last good generation..The new silent generation 2001- could be digitalized 100% they will live in grim times then in the 90's and soo on..

So what do you think generation y will have coming and do you think they have the power to change the world?


www.en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Generation_Y

GenY will have a lot coming: nukes, moral/social issues, etc.

But I just had a random thought about the whole GenX/GenY thing. If I am GenY (born in 1992) and my parents are GenX, will my kids be GenZ? What will my grandkids be (if I have any)? Will we start back at A or will we pull a 2005 hurricane season and go to Greek letters?

Bah, and it would help if you learned how to spell, that's one of the worst stereotypes against us teens. :mad:

I am not optimistic. They will probably screw up as badly as the past few. Why shouldn't they? Our culture remains as materialistic and arrogant as ever.

They will accomplish one very positive thing, though - they will end legal discrimination against gays and lesbians.

I don't know what 'America's Got Talen' is. I know the guy from Hell's Kitchen, though I can't remember his name.

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Americas_Got_Talent

"The talent show is a search for America's next talent. The show features singers, dancers, magicians, comedians and other talents of all ages. Anyone who believes they have talent can audition.

The performance shows of America's Got Talent are rated TV-PG, and the results shows are rated TV-14.

The advertised top prize is one million dollars. Some early ads for the show implied that the winning act would also headline a show at a casino, possibly in Las Vegas; however, there has been no mention of this on the show or in the most recent promotions.

The show premiered with a two-hour special on June 21, 2006 from 9:00-11:00 p.m. EDT. The semifinals began on July 13. The Wednesday performance shows are two-hours from 8:00-10:00 p.m. EDT. The first results show aired at 9:30 p.m. EDT the following Thursday, however NBC extended the results shows to one hour beginning July 20, to air from 9:00 p.m.-10:00 p.m.

Regis Philbin is the host. The judges are Piers Morgan, Brandy and David Hasselhoff. Neither the host nor the judges know the content of the acts in advance of their performances"

Its not the best show in the world!:rolleyes:

I don't know about you but I'd love to be in Generation α, or better, Generation Ω

That would be weird...Generation Alpha,Batta,Gamma,ect

I was born in 1993, and I personally like to think of myself as an anti-social nutter who ranges between "so shy I can't say a word without screwing up" and "rattles off a list of swearwords in close proximity to a teacher at medium volume for kicks".

Save the world? Me? Hell no!

My classmates? On second thoughts, I could probably do better than the lot of them, even put together. Especially put together!

But I don't identify with any generation. I identify with global nerdiness, British culture, half-right-half-left politics, and people with tank fetishes. And I pointedly refuse to be a member of anything that will prevent me spelling correctly.

There's no such thing as Generation Y. Anyone from ages 14-24 can consider themselves a member of Generation X. It's basically saying that "My generation is still an unknown factor".

I was born in 1993
You're 13? Lawl. Damn kids.

You're 13? Lawl. Damn kids.

Nope. Twelve, and damn well proud of it, although everyone seems to think it's just my cover story to explain why I don't have a clue (or give a shit) about physics.

Maybe I shuhd tri too spel increcty s pel il blef e.

This Generation is doomed, really. The only things people of my age (17) are interested in are sex, drugs, alcohol and terrible music. :(

I was just born 30 years to late ;)

So you'd rather be coming of age in a time when everyone your age would have been into sex, drugs, alcohol and music that you may not have liked?

People in the 60's had ideals, I love 60's music, I'd never do drugs (that's one of the few bad things about the 60's). But I'd have to survive the Disco era later on :eek:

If it wasn't for drugs, "60s music" as we know it wouldn't exist.

One pill makes you larger.......

I woudl gladly hang out with gen X...

Oh, and also according to Wiki I'm part of the MTV generation and the boomerang generation. I really don't consider myself part of an MTV generation, since I live in Canada and MTV wasn't available here until very recently, nor was I permitted to watch its canadian equivalent, muchmusic, until I was in my mid-teens (my mom feared that it would corrupt us or some such garbage)

yeah, I could fit in the Boomerang gen too, but I don't identify, I left home at 15 and never went back, don't think I ever will being that I am pretty self sufficient now.

I am much more like a Gen-X than anything else (not that that's a great thing either)

Maybe Jolt should invest in a spell checker.

As long as they put the corrections in red or something. Spelling is the easiest way for me to make snap judgements on people in general.

Generation Y has me as a member. I think we're alright.

Given this isn't an academic forum, spelling and grammar should not be the biggest concern but the meaning behind it. As long as the mistakes aren't truly atrocious at least. ;)

Anyway, what exactly are the characteristics of Generation Y? Being born in 1984 puts me here so am I supposed to have a certain personality? As long as we are generalizing.

Piracy!





Arrrrgggghhhhh!

But thats why I don't care about making snap decisions about people because it doesn't really matter and it's nice to have a stupid rule on which to judge people instantly so that I feel better about myself. I get to be an ass here :).

Yeah, it is easier to attack a person's use of "then" or "than" then (than? :D ) to go after the point that they made.

I'm okay...not sure about the hoes I go to school with...or the nerds planning a hostile takeover...or the jocks destined for McD's.

you mean Generation YAY, cuz we're fuckin retarded.

I am being told to spell right on NS to by adults in my region....I will do the best I can.When Im on the Computer I dont care about spelling but I will try to read over my stuff

its free spEch... dey cant tell US how ta speek (tipe reely, but u get mi point).

In all seriousness, unless we find some new species to war with, we will keep on fighting ourselves (unless we transcend, but we can't do that if we keep blowing our brains out...). we will fight with bigger guns and faster airplanes/spaceplanes but it will probably be seen as just another generation in history's eye... :(

I concur. Humans will fight. In my opinion, pacifists may as well aks us to stop eating, fucking, or breathing. In my opinion, anti-nuclear organisations are there to allow war to go on without causing an Armageddon.
