Summary
There are ten generations which have been given names, and these date back to births starting in 1890. The naming of generations is a sort of haphazard process, and is usually , but not always, predicated upon a book title such as 'The Greatest Generation' or 'Generation X'. In this story we discuss all the named generations, how they got their names, why and to whom they are important, and the characteristics common to those born into those generations. You should find it interesting as to how well the characteristics match those of you and your family.

| 0:27.0 | This is your host, John Hagdorn, |
| 0:29.0 | and it's great to be with you today. |
| 0:31.0 | Ever wonder which generation you're in, and how it got its name? |
| 0:35.0 | I thought we'd have a little fun this week with the generations, |
| 0:38.0 | and let you know what marketers, researchers, psychologists, and demographers think of you, |
| 0:44.0 | and what your generation thinks of others. |
| 0:46.0 | And I think the answers will surprise you. |
| 0:48.0 | Obviously, everybody in one generation doesn't fit into a handy description, |
| 0:52.0 | but many do. |
| 0:53.0 | Enough that marketers can target certain generations for their likelihood to purchase certain categories of things, |
| 0:59.0 | and that's one big reason why people and institutions have gone through the trouble to give generations their names. |
| 1:05.0 | A few examples, Generation Z, also called the Eye Generation, |
| 1:10.0 | those born between 1992 and 2012, and known by marketers as the Digital Friendly Generation. |

| 1:27.0 | Each generation really does have many defining characteristics. |
