How 'millennial' are you?

This is kind of a fun exercise. See how 'millennial' you are with the link below...

What is a 'millennial?' From Wikipedia:

quote:
Generation Y, also known as the Millennial Generation (or Millennials), Generation Next, Net Generation, Echo Boomers, describes the demographic cohort following Generation X. While there is no universally agreed upon time frame, the term generally includes people born in the 1980s and early 1990s, sometimes including those born as late as the year 2000.

For the record, I got a 44, my wife a 59 and my 16-year old daughter a 92. Eek

I am an old fogey, and have no tattoos, piercings, don't play video games, and do read the newspaper. So why was my score 68? Their blurb seems to suggest that using social networking receives the most weight, and I do have a LinkedIn profile. That and texting, I guess.

I got a 76, and I am older than most here, no tatoos, piercings other than ears, didn't play angry birds last night. Red Face So I agree that I think it has to do with the use of social networking, use of cell phones, computers and personal beliefs.

21!! haha and I'm liberal who loves technology...

changed 2 answers - video games and text numbers. I text fairly often, but not in the last 24 hours, (I actually made a couple of phone calls). I haven't played a video game in a while, but I have played an app game... wheeee changed the score to 51.

funny....

I guess the paper reading thing is a drawback :-)

I scored a 23.

Like most polls a some quesions were subjective to interpretation. I read multiple newspapers almost everyday, but online. I answered yes. But technically I didnt read a newspaper. I only have a land line because it's required by the alarm service that monitors the house for carbon monoxide, fire and break ins. I have a Facebook page only for the purpose of being found by long lost friends. I rarely participate on Facebook other than it's the easiest way to communicate in written form with my son. I didn't consider playing bridge on my computer a video game.

Prime... we should hang out. We could drink real soda, or beer (not lite) and talk about our first car (65 Dodge Coronet)
Haha, my first car was a '69 Coronet! Smile

I scored 74 and I'm 49. But I do have two older teenage kids and work in IT. Still play video games too. Smile

53 (and I'm at the tail end of the Boomers but grew up more like a GenX). Must have been that game of Angry Birds that I played today. Texting was way down in the last 24 hours but only because I didn't get into a "conversation" with anyone.

It asks if you have a landline but not if you actually use it! I think we actually answer a call about once a week and only dial out to order pizza.
