Hmm, I've always wondered this myself.

Now I know.

- The Silent generation:

people born before 1946.

- The Baby Boomers:

people born between 1946 and 1959.

- Generation X:

people born between 1960 and 1979.

- Generation Y:

people born between 1980 and 1995  

Why do we call the last one generation Y?

I did not know,

but a cartoonist explains it eloquently below . . .

Learned something new today! 

Now, make someone else laugh.

And have a great day.
