EOC Week 2 : My Demography

I am apart of generation Y. I feel like the description about gen yers is dead on. I am for the most part very impatient, opinionated and I stay connected to most of the people I have been friends with. I have or have had just about all of the social networking sites that have come across our plates within the last few years. Given I only use one or two of them now, but somehow I have managed to even keep in contact with people from elementary school to family members I have never even met. Gen yers have an advantage over most of Gen X’s and most definitely an advantage over baby boomers, because we pick up very fast on the new technological advances. My grandmother asked for my help on putting in phone numbers to her cell phone. It took her a few times and an instruction list I had made for her until she finally understood it. My mom is a few years shy of being a baby boomer so she is a Gen X. She is not as open and understanding to people who are much more diverse than us. I try to explain my different beliefs and understandings to her, but the result of any conversation we have is just one huge fight. Being that I am a Gen Y, as you have read has its advantages but it also has some disadvantages.
