Generation “Y” has a lot of things about them that makes them just a little different from all their predecessors. These people are known to be very ambitious, computer savvy, and extremely technically proficient. But apart from these three very salient characteristics, they have a lower level of education, a sense of entitlement and are extremely dependent on their parents. However, through this unique combination of characteristics, this large group of people has transformed into an entire generation that strives to be much more than their predecessors. Generation "Y" defines people born between the late 1970s and early 1990s, although in Australia it is strictly between 1983 and 2000. They go by many names, such as Millennial, Generation We , Echo Boomers and Peter Pan Generation. This generation is also the largest of all generations in history, with 76 million people growing up in it. With all these people constantly imagining new things, there must have been some good things. One of the biggest differences and perhaps the biggest advantage of young millennials is constant connection. The ability to talk to anyone; whether it's texting, emailing, or even video chatting, it's something completely new. Although most of the instruments used to achieve these goals, such as the telephone and the computer, generation “Y” took these ideas and put them into practice. While the computer had been around for years, the Echo Boomers (“Generation “Y”) created Facebook, Youtube, and many applications that people use every day. They advanced technology by leaps and bounds, compared to the steady speed it had experienced in previous years. It now appears to be a new model of the same pho...... middle of paper ... ethics, for most it's hard to fault them for the way they were raised in believing they should be treated. Hopefully, they will become aware of these negative traits and eliminate them when raising their children so that it is not as big a problem for Generation Z.
