You know you're a Gen-Y-er when the decision that schools in your district would be closed because of H1N1 was made during 3rd period, and EVERY SINGLE FRACKING kid in the school knew before the end of that class when it was actually announced to everyone -_-
On this day it was also made evident that the school's policy of not allowing the use of cell phones during class was not stopping anyone...
You know you're a Generation Y when you keep a back-up text message from your father stating that your grandmother is in the hospital just in case the teacher decides to take your cellphone, true story.
You know you're generation Y if someone says they'll get in touch with you, and you wonderhow? Will it be on Facebook, Twitter, E-mail, AIM, MSN, Twitter, text etc.
And you have the nerve t call yourself an Englishman? What tosh, you must be having a laugh. The French and Germans are concentrated evil I tell you, old sport! Have you learnt NOTHING from Dad's Army?
Tally ho, I think I can see a fox. What larks.

I’ve got a computer, fits the palm of my hand
somehow the satellites know just where I am
I must be paranoid or crazy I guess
to tell you the truth it scares me to death
I don’t leave the ground cause I’m too scared to fly
I don’t check the mail cause I don’t wanna die
I’m sinkin fast and I don’t mean maybe
Lord help us please, the whole world’s gone crazy
the whole world’s gone crazy
I wake up in the morning, turn on the TV
I got’s to get my daily dose of misery
ignore my family before I head off to work
I hate my job cause my boss is a jerk
there’s a man on the corner and he’s carrying a sign
he’s there everyday so I don’t pay him no mind
he’s got a wife and a new born baby
Lord help us please, the whole world’s gone crazy
the whole world’s gone crazy
There’s preacher on TV on a set made of gold
he said send some money and he’ll pray for my soul
if I send enough then God might save me
Lord help us please, the whole world’s gone crazy
the whole world’s gone crazy
...your garage/spare room includes a variety of consoles and games that superseded each other in close succession.
Eg: NES, Super NES, Nintendo '64, Game Cube
Eg: Gameboy, Gamboy Advance, Gameboy Mirco, DS Fat (original), DS Lite (hence "fat")
Eg: Playstation, PS2, PS3 ...well, you get the idea :laughing:
I was watching an old video tape the other month, a live pumpkins concert from 96 recorded off the TV and there is an advert on there for the first playstation. GOD! the graphics were so shit!! And I remember being blown away by it at the time. I shouldn't sound so surprised, people will be saying that about the PS3, xbox or whatever the rage is these days before long! [/digression]. >_>
Hmm... Yah... that being without a cell phone part.... I guess that includes me since I had a total meltdown over my iPhone turning into a brick this weekend. So I said screw Apple and their "You'll have to buy a new one" BS... I went out and got a Motorola Backflip... And actually like it a lot more. :laughing:
hahahahahahaha... I saw a window... ^_^
My ex-housemate claimed to not know how to post letters, I refused to believe it!
I still to this day really hope it was a joke.
Here's a large difference that I've noticed between us digital natives and other folk:
My first instinct is to look something up on the internet, not to ask someone else.
Also,
I've never asked "Ok, well tell me how to do this" for something that I know I can look up.
I occasionally tell people "I'm busy, Google it" when I'm not in the mood for giving a half-hour speech on the history of fuel injection and spark plug timing systems in boats, and how the knowledge can be applied to feeding your cat. Actually, that's an INTJ thing.
Another thing:
You know you're from Generation Y if you've ever gone on a walk with your WiFi signal strength meter, iPod, or laptop to determine whether or not the internet being down is isolated to your carrier, cables, or what. True story, it's what I spent an hour doing this morning. Turns out a fiber-optic cable was cut in another city.
I was in belly dance class and we were doing this thng with ur hands and I look at everyone and in my head I see Goku trying to do it and destroying our shop, it looked like his move. I busted out laughing and they stared at me... I once made a stat reader ou tof an old lense from my glasses and a some cardboard:tongue: Am I the only person who misses that show??
One of my friends actually got engaged to someone he met over myspace. They never got married though--distance probably hurt it quite a bit (she lived in SoCal and my friend in Tennessee).
You remember ghost rider.
You remember full house.
You remember reboot.
You remember rug rats.
You remember the original power rangers.
You remember the original Pokemon.
You remember white computers.
Ghost Rider or Ghost Writer? Or am I too stuck on KBPS?
