Generation Z or Generation E?

According to Wikipedia, Generation Z is represented by children born during the late 90's and through 2009. Sydney fits the bill for Generation Z except that David and I think she should actually be part of Generation E. You know, it's the electronic age, there's e-commerce, there's IBM's e-servers, e-vites, e-discovery, e-harmony....I could go on and on. Sydney belongs to this generation, generation E.

The epiphany that she belonged to this generation occurred several weeks ago and it was David's epiphany. We began noticing that MANY of Sydney's words suddenly began starting with "E".

Sydney doesn't say, "Mom Help", Sydney says "Mom E-Help".
Sydney doesn't say, "Mom Ice Please", Sydney says "Mom E-Ice Please"
Sydney doesn't say, "Daddy, Book Please", Sydney says "Daddy, E-Book"
Sydney doesn't point to a heart and say "Heart", she says "E-Heart"

These are just a few......no idea why or how this started, it just began suddenly around Christmas.
