What is Millennial generation?The generation which came of age in the 21st century. They're fond of tattoos and body piercings and spend all of their time exchanging pics of their latest drunken blowout on Facebook or Myspace. They talk constantly on their cell phones even in the bathroom and text messages back and forth even during exams. Reading is a chore unless its the latest entry on a friend's LiveJournal. The only books they have ever read completely are the Harry Potter novels Overheard a college admnistrator recently "you've got to remember these students are part of the 'millennial generation'.

Some sources put the end of the Millennial Generation as late as 2003, but as I just said, this is an amazingly meaningless definition. I was 17 and watching the Twin Towers fall from a TV blaring over the rumble of students in my high school cafeteria.

The Millennial Generation definition is wrong. Generation Y members are completely distinct in upbringing and in their world views from Generation Z. |
