Young, gifted and ready for change

Generation Y, the Millennials, Generation Next, the Net Generation, Echo Boomers. These are all terms used to describe our generation.
We are typically born between 1982 and 1995, and we are 60 million strong. We are the children of Baby Boomers, and in some cases the children of Generation X. We have an ease with, and knowledge of technology that far surpasses that of our grandparents and parents; and in the critical views of some, we are the generation that will be the downfall of our nation.
