			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><a href="http://www.gavoweb.com/hit_the_back_button_to_mo/" target="_blank">Gavoweb</a> posted a <a href="http://www.slideshare.net/scenariodna/transformer-generation-presentation?type=powerpoint" target="_blank">great slideshow about Generation Y</a>.  One of the most interesting parts of the show is slide 11, which claims that the &#8220;rite of passage&#8221; for Gen Y is twofold: 9/11 and the economic meltdown (Just as the boomer rite of passage was Vietnam and the civil rights movement). It appears that &#8220;rite of passage&#8221; in this case means some sort of shared experience of influence and maturation.</p>
<p>What is significant to me is that, if true, we are smack-dab in the middle of that maturation process right now, which means the true defining character of our generation (I&#8217;m a Gen Y-er, made it in by two years) has yet to be seen.  It will be interesting to see how it plays out.</p>
<p>I wish it was possible to hear the presentation that goes along with the show.  I&#8217;m sure it&#8217;d be quite interesting to hear.  Alas, why is it that amazing content about generations often comes from marketing agencies like this? (That&#8217;s a rhetorical question. I know why. I just wish some other avenues were capable of doing such great work in the field.)<strong>f you liked this, you&#8217;ll probably like:</strong>
