Generation Why?

So why are we Generation Y, anyways? Are we just not original enough to have our own special name, I mean, come on, we are SO different (aka better) from Generation X, so why should we be named after them?

For some odd reason, no one's come up with a good name for us.

Some people want to call us the Internet Generation (NetGen), while others point to our selfish natures and call us Generation Me.

That's just sad.

I think we should be Generation Global or Globe Gen, or something along those lines. We are the generation that is the most connected with the rest of the world. We have things in common with kids halfway around the world, and we talk to them about it via IM, email, blogs, etc. We also hear world news every day-- Invisible Children, anyone?

Plus it's much more flattering than Generation Selfish.
