born between 1925 and 1945, during the Great Depression and
World War II, comprise the Silent Generation. This was a grave
and fatalistic time, and it influenced the entire psyche of this
generation. And while it produced some of the most famous
singers and movie stars, and the generation's leaders changed
for the better civil rights for all; it is the only generation
that never produced a U.S. president.  The kids born in the
1990s are known as Generation Z. They have grown up with the
World Wide Web and are highly connected because of the Internet.
Instant messaging, text messaging, smartphones, tablet computers
and social networking are part of their fiber. They have 24-hour
access to the Internet with their mobile phones in their
pockets.  This generation would rather text than talk. They
prefer to communicate online
