Generation E
 n.— «Some people call these Internet do-it-yourselfers Generation C, for the creative content they put on the Net. Or citizen media, meaning they’re average people offering their work to the world. Another name is Generation E for entitled, because these folks feel they have just as much right as established writers or musicians or filmmakers to be heard.» —“Voice of America Press Releases and Documents” Federal Information & News Dispatch (Washington, D.C.) May 19, 2004.
