Shift from the the '50's

When discussing the shift to a more vainglorious generation, it is hard to ignore the technological advantages and social media. Various electronics and programs allow the user to customize to his/ her liking to express individual styles and personalities. The social media website, Facebook, seems to promote sense of self-worth and importance; the headline for posting a "status" includes phrase such as "What are you thinking about?" and the special emphasis on members' "selfies" emphasize the importance of the user. Tell your friends what you had for lunch or take pictures of your group of friends you saw at you High School reunion. The truth is, your friends don't care what you ate today nor do they care to see your old circle of best buds' smelly feet; but they might press the "like" button anyway just for the laugh of it. Needless to say, recent technologies and media promote the shift to current self-loving generations.
