Human: I've been hearing a lot about the 'Baby Boomer' generation. What exactly is a baby boomer? Assistant: 
Baby boomers are people born between the years of 1946 and 1964. They are often referred to as the "baby boom" because they were so large in number, and because their birth rate was so high during this time period. The term "baby boomer" refers to the fact that these individuals grew up during a period of rapid economic growth, which led to many social changes such as increased educational opportunities and greater acceptance of diversity.
