How would you define your own Gen(eration) ?

Born in 1978 I'm a "Why" or Y-Gen. I knew the world without personal computers or Internet. Listened to allot of audio tapes and watched video cassets (yep! that old black box with a scrolled black band in it) Received love Letters on pretty papers when I was a teen. Danced on TLC, Puff Daddy, Wu-tang-clan, Hieroglyphics, NTM, Mickael Jackson, ... Sang on Madonna's first hits, on Bangles, on Cindy Lauper and Direstraight. was about 11-12yo when the rumors about AIDS came around... Used a big land phone that had a round scrolling dialing system and was in the middle of the living room where the parents could hear my every words. I am from the first generation that doesn't obey to every rule without asking a tone of questions first. That puts Life and well-being in front of Hard working and obedience to the hierachy. The Septic generation that asks, still today, "Why?" all the time. I know how to survive if ever a magnetic bomb exploses and don't rely on a GPS but on my observation and a good paper map when I'm wondering the streets of a new town. Though I have a great intuition with technological gadgets especially computers: I discovered MS-Dos and Basic around 10years old, then Windows 95-98 with things like Works, ... Played video games like pacman, space invaders, pong or Lemmings during my childhood and had allot of floppy disks, an Atari, a Commodor, ... Up to my late teenages The Euro Money Currency didn't exist. I used Belgian Francs in Belgium, French francs in France, Deutch marks in Germany... I witnessed from a "far" (Belgium) the fall of the Berlin's wall . Even sang and danced on a supportive french song "on écrit sur les murs" for my 6th primary grade's fancyfair.
