You can leave an optional "tip" with Mahalo's virtual currency, Mahalo Dollars. If you are asking a difficult question that might require some research, or if you'd like a wide variety of feedback, a higher tip often leads to more answers to your question.

Generation Y refers to those born between 1982 and 2000. Generation Y is also known as the "Millennials"
Generation X were born between 1961 and 1981.
Those born between 1951 and 1961 are the Baby Boomers.
A generation isn't a single decade ... it's about two decades (long enough for that generation to start having kids).

Generation differentiation has to do with technology differences. For instances, the main difference between generation X and Y, at least to my knowledge is the marketing and the advent of mobile text messaging which the Generation Y is accustomed to. For instance, those born in Generation Y were more likely to have mobile phones by the age of 18, whereas generation X was less likely to have one in their teenage years.

Could you supply some reference material or how did you come up with this information?
I'm in marketing so I'm just very familiar with these terms. The Wikipedia articles referenced in the other answer are a good source, though.
Interesting question! I bet that they will initially be something standard, like Generation ZZ or Generation Zero, but will retroactively be referred to as something else. I'd anticipate future generations will be completely digital from birth onwards, and may have social problems as a result that will ultimately lead to their characterization by earlier generations as "Generation On" or "The Dig Kids."
Thanks!
