I was born in generation y but have really lived in generation z. I was only five years old when the new generation began, but both seemed similare. The generation that I have really lived in is all about the internet, and the tv. Other generations like the baby boomers didn't really even have the internet, or a tv. The tv's were just new and they were in black and white. I think that our generation has had it too easy we really don't have to think to hard anymore, which is very different then before. This are really the same with politics. Fasion has really changed over the years. We are always getting better and newer clothes. I always hear older people saying how they don't like their pictures from when they were younger, and we might think the same thing later but right now we think we have the best clothes. I think that our generation is very differnt from the baby boomer, thats where I see most of the difference. We are going to grwo up and have to worry about all the issues like environmental, and childhood obisity, which the other generations don't have to do. We haven't been around to long so it is the effects and actions of the older generations that we have to deal with when we get to the point of having to work. I also thisnk that our generation isn't as smart as the other generations becuase we don't have to think as much, but I do quite enjoy the time that we are growing up in.

You are right in that this generation has seemed like it has been a lot easier to grow up. We go to school until we are 22, maybe head back home to get back on our feet, build up some equity, go by a house, choose to or not to have a family, retire when we are 65. In the past people have gotten married at 14-17, settled down all on their own without their parents, had 4-7 (maybe more) kids, support them all, and practically work until you croak. Even though there is a lot of pressure put on us due to the education factor, life does seem easier and more convenient.
