Generation naming explained

Got this from one of my ex-colleague via e-mail today. She’s such a doll as some of the stuff that I received from her in the past really lets me take some time-out during work. [I hope my boss is not reading this!]


Normally will forward it to the people I know (and am fond of, of course) but sometimes I will missed out a few (Too many friends, what to do?). So I’ve decided to post it here from now onwards.


Well, at least you don’t have to actually hear me go on and on and on and on in every single entry here.


Wait a minute, did I just heard a sigh of relief???

The Silent generation:
people born before 1946.

The Baby Boomers: people born between 1946 and 1959.

Generation X: people born between 1960 and 1979.

Generation Y
: people born between 1980 and 1995 .

Why do we call the last one Generation Y? I didn't know the reason until today - a caricaturist explains it eloquently below...





As they say: A picture is worth a thousand words!




Melly rhymes with smelly,
