Narcissism

Perhaps there may be more self-advertising seen today than in the past. I personally believe that as technology advances, networking and advertising just become easier. So of course I think that there has been a recent spike in Narcissistic activity. It has become as easy as typing a few short lines of information to get a message out to the masses. Free advertising has become readily available at the touch of our fingers. The past generations never had anything like this before.

Now maybe it has less to do with attention seeking and self infatuation and more to do with plain boredom. When the technology is available the way Myspace, Facebook, and Twitter are, people will use it. It doesn't have to have a valid point, the internet has become the new spot for bored people to explore and spend time.

Whichever it may be, I seem to believe that it is true that there is more attention-seeking and self-advertising going on and not so much Narcissism.
