Description

Internet generation is how sociologists termed the generation of people born after the advent of computers as a common tool. The key fact about this generation is that its members spent their formative years during the rise of World Wide Web (WWW). Therefore, they take the existence of this technology for granted. These people usually have born from 1994 onwards (still at present). Beside this term, writers and editors have proposed many other names, e.g. iGeneration, Generation Einstein, Google generation.
