Gen Y - Friend or Foe????

888DAG.com >>>

So i was thinking...........

I'm sick and tired of reading about Generation Y articles that baby boomers have written (no offence).

Its like reading "how to please your man" in cosmo by WOMEN!!!!!! How the hell would women know how to please a man?????

i mean am i stupid?? or is the best and simple to way to get rid of stereotypes and generalisations - to ask the source? meaning how about we ask a man "how they liked to be pleased??" in the same respect why dont we ask Generation Y - why they are the way they are???

So.....being a part of gen y, i thought i would clarify the stereotypes

***Gen y is defined in wikipedia (god bless it) as;

" is the generation following Generation X, especially people born in western culture from the early 1980s to the early 1990s. The generation is also alternatively defined as the children of the Baby Boomer generation"

Some things people may associate with Generation Y

***LAZY - which is a big one, not to put generation Y down but WE ARE........no use lying you can tell in our actions. Alot of gen y's have and still are being spoon fed!!!! The way to get gen y's to do anything is to STOP spoon feeding them!

***Have no respect - this is one stereotype i completely dont agree with. Gen Y value to be understood, accepted, respected and included - however saying that i do understand where people get this stereotype, because even though gen y value all these things, we have either small or no tolerance. To people that value them and respect them - gen y's will usually show same respect back.

*** Digitally aware - YES YES YES we are!!!! we love it!!! it consumes us!!!! and we constantly want MORE!!! Here are some interesting stats i got from wiki

97% own a computer
97% have downloaded music and other media using peer-to-peer file sharing
94% own a cell phone
76% use instant messaging and social networking sites
75% of college students have a Facebook account[16]
60% own some type of portable music and/or video device such as an iPod
49% regularly download music and other media using peer-to-peer file sharing
34% use websites as their primary source of news
28% author a blog and 44% read blogs
15% of IM users are logged on 24 hours a day/7 days a week

considering that 44% of gen y's read blogs, make sure you keep posting!!!!! ~ just keep blogging, just keep blogging, just keep blogging (singing along to "just keep swimming" from finding nemo)

More content - more viewers!!!!!! ~~~ gen y's worst fear is getting bored!!!!! (just thinking about me makes me squeal!!!)

*** Just weird/and confused - well i've heard this one so many times from my mum and my mums friends....... which i always reply "i am who i am - deal with it - cause i aint gonna change". Generation Y are proud of themselves whether dressed like an emo.
