Rise of Gen Y
Generation Y is quite simply the generation that followed Generation X and includes people born from 1982-2001. So anyone between 8 and 26 currently falls into this generation (2009). However, people have many different opinions on the start and end dates, but I like to stick with the definition from the Generation Guru William Strauss.
