    About this issue

    Generation Y has grown up in threatening economic times, but interestingly this crop of young adults is particularly self-assured, liberal, optimistic and open to change. In an age of Internet and social media, its lingo is clipped from pervasive media technologies. Its dreams are defined by economic turmoil and images that are produced by a plethora of screens all around. It’s certainly a vibrant generation living in interesting times.
