Generation-Y (Gen-Y), also known as Millennials, comprises the population born roughly between 1981 and 1996 (the exact birth years may vary slightly depending on the source). This generation follows Generation-X and precedes Generation-Z. Millennials are the first generation to have grown up with the internet and digital technologies, though not from birth like Gen-Z. They experienced the development of the internet, smartphones, and social media firsthand, which has shaped their relationship with technology.
