Here come Generation Omega. Omega (the last letter of the Greek alphabet) is often used to denote the last, the end, or the ultimate limit of a set, in contrast to Alpha, the first letter of the Greek alphabet. In the New Testament book of Revelation, God is declared to be the "alpha and omega, the beginning and the end, the first and the last".[3]

Michael Douglas playing in "The Game" (captured, transported to Mexico and subjected to a premature burial, having his bank accounts drained by the employee who was pretending to help him. The Game is now revealed to be an elaborate scam to relieve the power elite of their property and their lives. at the end, he offers to split the cost of the game to which his brother happily accepts (a small scene where Nicholas comments 'wow' to the cost is also included).)
Born 1978 - 2000

Generation O:
Armageddom: 911. SARS. Financial crisis. Iraq removal. Flood. Hurricane. Subprime. Game over.

Generation Omega will be poorer than any previous generation.
