Technology is A Fundamental Part of Gen Y's Existence. Gen Y was born wired. It's embedded in our psychology, so much so that it's our third hand and second brain. We are connected through words, voices and images.Mar 23, 2010
Change The World
Gen Y is the most civic-minded generation to date. We have this 'can-do' spirit and attach ourselves to large cultural movements because we believe that our generation can make a difference in the world.Mar 17, 2010
We Are Family
When you ask Gen Y who are the most important people in our lives it's not uncommon to hear family and friends in the same sentence. With broken homes and dysfunctional family units, my generation turns to our friends for advice, support and personal therapy.Mar 09, 2010
Got To Be Real
Gen Y wants brands to be themselves - really reveal who they are at the core - and stick to that. We don't want brands to over promise on something they can never deliver. We can smell deceit and dishonesty immediately. So as we say - 'it's best to keep it real'.Feb 26, 2010

For Generation Y, the glass if half full. Gen Y believes that life is here for the taking. The most pampered generation, they believe the world revolves around them. They are empowered to move around or influence systems that aren't meeting their needs.

How Brand Savvy are Tweens?
Wait....what's a tween? Well, for the purposes of this study, covered on the Today Show last week, a tween is between the ages of 8 and 12. So, you might now be thinking...why the hell do we care what they think? They don't have any money to spend.
