Favorite Quotes: Lie Traveling Across the Globe

"A lie travels around the globe while the truth is putting on its shoes."

-Author disputed

The Oregon Trail generation or Xennials, is a micro generation that serves as gap between Generation X and Millennials (Gen Y) as many members who were born between the late 70's and early 80's don't generally meet the qualifications of either of the two main generations. The Oregon Trail name is because many in this micro-generation played Oregon Trail in school computer labs and grew up before the internet and social media changed society forever.
