I’ve heard about Generation X before, generation baby boomers, and now generation Y & Z.
I roughly know about baby boomers generation, which are my parents generation. So what exactly are these generation and what are they?

I come to know that I fell into the category of Generation Y.
I heard from one of discussion at a gathering event that Generation Y likes to work easy and want to get lots of money quick. Generation Y is interested on having great lifestyle & materialistic. Which is kinda true.

Personally I respect baby boomers, my parent generation. They like to work hard and most of them even financed their parents and kids at the same time. While the kids generation is having struggle to finance themselves.

According to recent US generation:

Silent Generation (born between 1925-1942)

They are/were hard working, economically conscience, and trusting of the government. They were very optimistic about the future and held a strong set of moral obligations.

Baby Boom Generation (1943-1960) or (1946-1955) or (1946-1964)

‘Boomers’ have a strong set of ideals and traditions, and are regarded as being very family-oriented. They are fearful of the future, relatively active and liberal socially but conservative politically.

Generation X (1961-1981) or (1965-1976)

Generation X lives in the present, likes to experiment, and expects immediate results. Xers are selfish and cynical, and depend a lot on their parents. They question authority and feel they carry the burden of the previous generations.

Generation Y (1979-1994) (1977-1994) (1989-1993)?

The Y Generation is regarded as being materialistic, selfish, and disrespectful — but also very aware of the world and very technologically literate. They are trying to grow-up too quickly, and have no good role models to look towards.

So what this leads into? How the next generation Z (currently still babies) will be like I wonder?

I find Subliminal Advertising concept is creepy but interesting.
It felt like your unconscious mind is being hacked.Check the video out and let me know what you think. It’s bloody good documentary done by Derren Brown. Very interesting topic to be documented.

According to Wikipedia, A subliminal message is a signal or message embedded in another object, designed to pass below the normal limits of perception. These messages are indiscernible to the conscious mind, but are alleged to be perceptible to the subconscious or deeper mind: for example, an image transmitted so briefly that it is only perceived subconsciously, but not otherwise noticed. Subliminal techniques have occasionally been used in advertising and propaganda; the purpose, effectiveness and frequency of such techniques is debated.
