Generations are successive by time, not by the power of their hardware.

When we use the term generations with human beings, there are two different kinds. One is based on family trees, and the other has sociocultural roots. But both share the same exact criteria: They are successive in time. No matter how dumber or smarter the next generation is compared to the one that came before.

Then would you mind to answer the following questions?

1 - What is the time period of a generation based on sociocultural roots?

2 - In school / university, each year is a new generation?

3 - Besides this 3rd kind of generation, how many more there is that we are forgetting about? Doesn't this mean "generation" is a concept poorly defined?

4 - How do you define console generations based on time? What is the criteria? I'm not asking for the results, I'm asking for the formula to get them.
