Generation X 1960 – 75 30 - 45 largest number in population

DotComs 1975 – 90 15– 30 first wired generation

Ferals 1990 – 05 0 - 15 smallest number - ½ of GenX

GenerationsGenerationsBaby Boomers 45 - 60 The New Aged, confident they have the answers if only

someone would ask the right questions.

Generation X 30 - 45 Uncertain what to do with themselves or their ageing

parents. Old system not very appropriate; no apparent new options. Boomers won’t hand over reins.

DotComs 15 - 30 Boomers’ grandkids, busy connecting globally with no

concerns about getting old. Assume innovations will offer untold new options for everything they need.

Ferals 0 - 15 No boundaries, no limits in time, space or distance.

What they need they will create.
