Much has been said about the gaps between the Boomers, Generation X, andGeneration Y. The longer I live, the more evident these differences are becoming…but nothing marks these differences better than mobile technology!

Which one are you?

You Know You’re a Mobile Boomer When…

1. You still have the 1st and 2nd generation cell phones. (What? It still works!)
2. You’re really excited to have a cell phone.
3. You answer EVERY SINGLE PHONE CALL that comes in on your cell phone, or if you don’t answer every single phone call on your cell phone, then you look at your phone while it rings, and say out loud, “I wonder who that could be?”
4. You still yell into a cell phone.
5. You make sure that your ringer is REALLY loud…you know, so you can hear it.
6. You get freaked out when someone sends you a Text Message. (What do I do next?!)
7. You hold the keys down way too long, and then wonder why someone in Guam keeps picking up your sister’s phone.
8. You don’t know how many minutes are on your plan.
9. You have to put on your glasses to read your cell phone screen. (The numbers are SO SMALL!)
10. You purchase stocks in AT&T

You Know You’re a Generation X-er When …

1. You wait until your screen is scratched up and the numbers worn off before you replace your phone. (I paid a lot of money for this!)
2. You throw your cell phone into your purse or bag (Oh! When did I get a call?)
3. You ignore EVERY SINGLE PHONE CALL that comes in on your cell phone. (I don’t recognize that number…ignore.)
4. You wish people would stop yelling into their cell phones, especially yours.
5. You never turn your ringer on. (Someone better let me know when they plan to call, otherwise, good luck!)
6. You prefer Text Messages. (Why speak when you can type?)
7. You can dial, hold a separate conversation and get your subway ticket…all at the same time.
8. You try to avoid the big corporate plans. (Why pay AT&T when I can use a company that plants a tree for every minute I use?)
9. You keep wishing they’d add more keys. (See #6)
10. You purchase stock in Virgin Mobile and Creedo.

You Know You’re a Generation Y-er When …

1. You sign up for Apple alerts to know when the next iPhone is coming out. (Screw work! The new iPhone is coming out and I just bought a new sleeping bag…awww yeah!!)
2. You’re really excited to have an iPhone.
3. You answer EVERY SINGLE PHONE CALL that comes in on your cell phone, and then follow it up with a Twitter. (Hey, I got nothin’ but time, and the world needs to know!)
4. You listen to music, check your email and answer your phone…all at the same time.
5. You make sure that your ringer is the latest Yeah Yeah Yeahs or Rihanna song…so, you know, everyone can hear it.
6. You get freaked out by properly spelled Text Messages. (Did he really write Laugh Out Loud? That’s not funny.)
7. You slide your fingers across your phone, rather than pushing in cumbersome keys.
8. You don’t care how many minutes are on your plan. (Hey, as long as my parents keep paying for my tuition, I’m straight!)
9. You hate buttons on your phone. (They just get in the way!)
10. You purchase stocks in Apple.
