What will this generation be remembered for?

we dont know yet. ask us again in 50 yrs

I'm glad I'm really more of a gen X'er (born in 1982). Things like skinny jeans make me do a facepalm.

Generation Y is pathetic and won't be remembered for anything.

i don't like any of the things you listed there except anime and the internet.

HD video games, GameSpot, MySpace, Facebook, Twitter, and/or the generation that will have little or no Social Security.

TC, being born in 1981 I don't consider myself to be part of this generation, but the last.

This generation is pathetic. All they care about and think it's ''COOOOOOOOL'' is drinking alcohol, smoking, using drugs. Oh and discrimination! This generation is slow-witted. If someone looks different, that person is called a weirdo or stupid. Of course there are people who are not discriminating or drinking like 40 year old alcoholics and they deserve more respect than those other ''cool tough guys''but still.

my first thought was obesity

but yeah, there is no one massive trend as there appears to have been with previous generations. everyone likes different music. maybe we will be remembered for diversity?

This generation will be remembered for making Big Rigs:D

what does Gen Y have to do with 9-11, Bush or Obama?

The dawn of people raised on the internet, youtube bloggers and the like.

Generation Y did not create the internet, just use it like everyone else does.

Increasing open-mindedness and interconnectedness.

Ecumenical Dialouge? Previous generations have been ambivalent towards it. But my generation seems much more open to it.

I'm 33. I experienced my teenage years during the grunge explosion. So, I'm obviously looking at this from the outside-in.

The first thing that comes to mind when I think of modern teens is 'Cell phone'. Seriously. Modern teens are constantly in touch with their friends. Sure we had telephone and beepers back in my day, but if you were out of the house you were out of touch. Which was great, and why I refuse to own a cell phone even today.

It becomes a problem when they can't seperate themselves from their technological connections for any length of time: driving, at the movie theater, in a classy resturaunt, etc., they're always 'on'.

I'm going with what previous generations complain about from the current generation. When you hear someone from a generation before this one they always complain about how lazy kids are these days.

This is true, too. All but a few kids in my neighborhood are obese or getting there. I'm talking even the elementary school children. But hell they won't do anything but sit on the PC/Playstation/Cell Phone.

I have to say this, too: You guys suck at the English language. Not you people personally, but your generation in general. My ex-wife was a high school teacher and I used to help her grade papers, and I can't figure out how most of those kids even made it to high school.

Probably as the first internet generationAlphaRail

Well, no. The first internet generation was a bunch of college kids in 1969. I myself have been online since the mid-80's.

I once read a report according to which Chinese students are better in English than British ones:?

Generation Y

First off let me clarify

No people born from 1960 to 1980

If you graduated High School in the 90's, NOT YOU

If Nirvana was a new band when you were in middle or high school NOT YOU

Though you can give you opinion on us.

Ok i'm talking about this current generation, of skinny jean wearing, screamo loving, twilight,Anime generation, internet generation Kanye/little wayne, Judd Apatow movie lovinng kids. What do you think this generation will be remembered for? Do you think it'll be more mediocre or great?

The I'm giving the small idea, you guys bring the big ideas. It's a discussion, please no terrible arguments. I don't want anyone getting suspended/banned.

Also forgot to clarify, if you guys feel that you aren't lumped in with the masses, then that's ok. This is about the mass of whats popular of teens today the "fit in" masses.

iPods.

The Wii! oh you mean you lot, probably the fact you are all going to spontaneously explode from that new std that hasn't been discovered yet, anyway I got to go use my crystal ball some more...
