Generation We

Millennials are the largest generation in American history. Born between 1978 and 2000, they are 95 million strong, compared to 78 million Baby Boomers. They are independent—politically, socially, and philosophically—and they are spearheading a period of sweeping change in America and around the world. No one knows the Millennials like Eric Greenberg. In Generation We, Greenberg explains the emerging power of the Millennial Generation, shows how they (and their supporters from other generations) are poised to change our nation and our world for the better, and lays out a powerful plan for progressive change that today's youth is ready to implement.

It is a lot of hype, but in my experiences with the motivated people of my generation, the hype is mostly true. I don't think I am a shining example of what is described, but I definitely know some people who are. For all of us, lets hope that the hype proves completely true.

People are tremendously pleased and have overly high expectations. The election of a black man to the most powerful position of the world obviously means a lot to many black africans. Mostly everyone is just excited about a positive change which probably has as much to do with Bush leaving office as Obama coming in.
