Generation Y must ask ‘Why?’

I am a middle-class child of the Y Generation — the Why Generation. I came of age in the post-apartheid 1990s. We were taught to be brash, question authority, talk back and think smart. Our parents flooded us with learning tools. My life has been as much framed by the fight for freedom in this country as it has by the technological boom that catapulted the world on to the ­information highway.
