Who is Generation Y?

Those born between 1978 and 1994. They’re also called Millennials, the Internet Generation, Echo Boomers, Nexters and the Digital Generation. Generation Y follows Generation X, a term coined by fiction writer Douglas Coupland to describe those born after boomers, roughly 1965 to 1978.

On the horizon

DEMOUNTABLE WALL PANELS might be a future feature in Gen-Y homes. The panels, which allow walls to be broken down and moved, work like office cubicles with metal-grid foundations. They allow you to easily change wall material (fabric, glass, etc.) and rewire as technology evolves. A residential system by DIRTT (Doing It Right This Time) of Calgary, Alberta, shown at the International Contemporary Furniture Fair in Chicago, can be purchased through architects and interior designers. One panel, used in a kitchen, allows users to easily rearrange modular cabinetry.
