Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind

A major characteristic of Generation Y was the arrival of the Internet. Generation X mostly viewed the computer as a "geeky" thing to have in the 1980s and early 1990s (or minor class jealousy for those who could do their English homework on the computer instead of the typewriter), but Gen Y as been universally exposed to the computer as general users (rather than Gen X's technically-oriented users) and now a computer lies in almost every household of at least moderate financial means. Ironically, using paper-base ...

Most have few memories of the Cold War (apart from perhaps action movies, toys, or video games with such themes) and came of age during the technology-driven changes in the years of President Bill Clinton. They were the first to grow up with the Internet in a developed, prolific form, including music downloads, instant messaging and cellular phones, which came to fruition at about 1997. Even before they could type and mouse-click their way through the internet, they were the first to grow up with a modern media choices: television remotes to ...

Defining precisely which movies belongs to the science fiction genre can be as difficult with films as it is with literature. Science fiction film is "a film genre which emphasizes actual, extrapolative, or speculative science and the empirical method, interacting in a social context with the lesser emphasized, but still present, transcendentalism of magic and religion, in an attempt to re ...

Generation Y - Technology. This generation was the first generation to use or witness the following technology from an early age: The Internet (the World Wide Web), in a more prolific form for the general user ('consumer'-friendly) rather than technically oriented. (about 1997 onwards) PCs with modern operating systems and mouse-based point-and-click GUIs, requiring less keyboard skills. (mid 1990s onwards) Sophisticated computer graphics in many video games, animated movies and tel ...

Many critics point to the fact that Gen Y lacks any consistent literary figure [12] that represents the generation, as all previous generations seem to have had. Although J.K. Rowling's Harry Potter books are immensely popular, the series isn't widely regarded as literary items of Gen Y in particular, as the popularity of the books can be attributed to Rowling's unique approach to literature. She is ofte ...

Generation Y - TV overview. Similar to the case with movies, members of iGeneration and Gen Y at large are purported to watch much less [10] television in comparison to members of past generations. This is largely attributed to the popularity of the Internet, [11] which was formerly relegated to so-called "nerds" or "geeks". Mundane programming and lacking television series which honestly depict (and thus appeal) to Gen Y are some contributors of this. Although reality shows are viewed by some, it seems most reality series are actually more ...

Members of Generation Y are maturing during a period where most popular movies are either cult films or renditions of books, comics, graphic novels, other movies, or even other remakes. This in conjunction with declining box office ticket sales and a greater variety of entertainment choices and mediums. Video entertainment movie sources include cable television as well as rented/purchased/library videos and DVDs. Movies may still be labeled blockbusters since higher ticket prices mean ongoing breaking of sales records; but no meaningful 'blo ...

Although a small budget film by Hollywood standards, the film is considered a box office bomb due to grossing only $12 million out of $22 million budget (USD). Critical opinion for the film was mixed. Some critics were displeased with the overabundance of light metaphysical and philosophical subject matter while others praised the film's quirky humor and introduction to existentialism. Most critics agreed that the performances from the actors themselves were well done, particularly that of Mark Wahlberg as Tommy Corn. Despite harsher reviews, the film has drawn a small, cu ...

Carrey was born and grew up in the Toronto suburb of Newmarket, Ontario to a family with some French Canadian roots (the original surname was Carree). A comedian from an early age, Carrey mailed his résumé to The Carol Burnett Show when he was 10 years old. The teachers in Carrey's high school gave him a few minutes at the end of each school day to do a stand-up comedy routine for his classmates. The Carrey family fell on hard times and were forced to move to the Toronto suburb of Scarborough, where they took security ...

Gen Y are usually children to the Baby Boomers and rarely early Gen Xers (about 1950 to 1969). Because of this they have a tendency to share social views with the Boomers and culture with Gen X, who serve chiefly as their 'older cousins' or even older siblings. (A previous writer claimed "Gen Y refers to Gen X as Old Schoolers", but I've never heard this and can't find it reliably. The musical genre "Old Skool" may be the source of this. Regardless, now with over 10 years in the workforce, Gen X is taking their place in middle-to-upper manag ...

In a strict sense, the term "Generation Y" and its variations can be said to refer only to the United States, but the close cultural connection between the U.S. and other Western countries has led to the term being used to describe any youth culture, even if the emerging generation does not bear any characteristic similarities to the United States version of "Generation Y" besides chronological birth years. In many rich countries, the 1980s and 1990s were a period of rapidly falling birthrates. In Southern Europe and Japan, and less m ...

The inherent similarities between Generation Y and its predecessor, Generation X, have led many to view Gen-Y as a mere protraction of Gen-X, going as far as to question the existence of two separate generational classifications. There are, however, very important differences between the generations, including (but not limited to) the age at which modern technology was introduced to members of each generation, and much of the doubt of th ...
