Why the Y?

(Thanks to Iris Eagan and to Phyliss Wixon for sending this one my way.)


The Silent generation, people born before 1946. -


The Baby Boomers, people born between 1946 and 1963. -


Generation X, people born between 1964 and 1 979. -


Generation Y, people born between 1980 and 1995 .


Why do we call the last one generation Y?


I did not know, but a caricaturist explains it eloquently below...Learned something new!
