«What is Generation Y? The term is clumsy, and suggests that it picks up where X left off, which is not the case. It has been given many names - the Net Generation, the Millennials, the Dotcoms and the Thumb Generation (referring to their dexterity with remote controls, computer keyboards and mobile phones) and Echo-Boomers (as the product) both biologically and socially, of their Baby Boomer parents). Yers have been described as the Paradoxical Generation, due to their seemingly contradictory approach to life (they drink and take drugs but eat organic food, they are obsessed with technology  but fear it is depriving them of deeper personal relationships, they want to get married but resist settling dowll with a partner)» (huntley, 2006: 10)
