When it comes to self-absorption, Boomers have nothing on technology-using Twenty-Somethings

We at LifeTwo agree that the Baby Boomer generation is the most self-absorbed in history. Being Boomers ourselves we don't feel bad saying it. It rings true -- prompting non-Boomers to quip, "I hope the sixties end some day."

But Boomers might be getting competition from the MySpace/Facebook/Twitter generation, who are leveraging the latest technology to take self absorption to an entirely new level. While we've been sitting around loudly fretting to anyone who will listen about disappearing social security and looming retirement, younger generations have been broadcasting every single detail of their lives to friends and strangers alike. 30 years ago we would have labeled someone as "conceited" who always talked about what they were doing. Today that's called "social networking".

Now it's being raised to an entirely new level. Meet Justin.TV. Justin has attached a camera to his head and beams around the world whatever he is looking at. Other than going to the bathroom, we hear and see everything that Justin hears and sees. Not only that but hundreds of people then chat about it in real time. So as Justin eats breakfast we read running commentary about how it tastes and compares to what he ate yesterday. If a Boomer did this we'd say it was a classic, narcissistic boomer. When a 20-something does it, people ask about the IPO.
