I Always Wondered - NOW I know
In its January 22, 2008 edition, the Quebec City newspaper, Le Soleil, had a topic about generations by age group.
Generations are grouped as follows:
- The Silent generation, people born before 1945.
- The Baby Boomers, people born between 1945 and 1961.
- Generation X, people born between 1962 and 1976! .
- Generation Y, people born between 1977 and 1989.
Why do we call the last one generation Y. I did not know, but a caricaturist explains it eloquently below...Learned something new!
