Millenial mysteries

Lots of mentions lately for the Millenials. Who are they? They are the generation in college right now.  Also known as the echo boom or Generation Y, they are a large group (unlike Gen X) who may really take the US in new directions. They may have already turned the last presidential election.

• The Daily Beast recently answered, Who are the Millenials?
• Now that they are flocking into cities for urban lifestyles and car-free living, Atlantic Cities asked, Will they stay in the cities?
• And, as the Baby Boomers keep hogging the money and attention and culture, the Daily Beast asked whether Millenials will ultimately get the short end of the stick. But not as nicely as I have stated it here.
• An English teacher in Mexico asks, Are teachers the biggest barrier to Gen Y's education? (Well, there is a LOT more to his paper than that, but you can read it to get the rest.)
• And Texas researchers conducted a study have found that Millenials think that news is "garbage, lies, one-sided, propaganda, repetitive and boring."

As members of the generation enter the planning and design workforce, do they have different expectations?
Does this generation need a change in how we plan and design landscapes for them?
If you are Gen Y, how will your approach to design be different than previous designers?
