The ME ME ME Generation

The title The ME ME ME Generation instantly is associated with narcism and a sense of self-entitlement, which it should. The three Me's are the giveaway an obvious display self obsession. But what if the three Me's actually represented a sense of self dependence?(This idea was partially influenced by Destiny's Child's song titled Me, Myself and I a song about a women's independence. I probably shouldn't be admitting that on an english blog.) You might be thinking "A generation with more 20-somethings staying with their parents, counting their twitter followers and grew up wanting to be like Kim Kardashin is self dependent?" Well hear me out! This generation may be dependent on those around us more than ever, but we are not dependent on a script. We're too busy flipping it. We could be simply altering the appearance of our lives through social media, but we're changing the way things are done. 
Technology is obviously the most discussed part about this generation. "They are informed but inactive" Is there a more true statement about technologies effect on us? With technology so much information is being processed to us that slowly each bit of information becomes less significant. We can't protest and act upon everything we hear, we're too busy finding out more information. To many instargram and twitter acts as a mask for our daily lives. Many users are too busy in making their life seem interesting than actually making their life interesting. And they do so because others to do it too. The narcism comes from a generation that feels social media measures their worth, and this allows personalities such as, Kim Kardashin to be the queen of social media. I think i'm getting off topic. Essentially, because of technology this generation is not only masking their lives, their masking their world around them. Instead of worrying about complex issues, they worry about superficial issues because this generation is an optimistic one. One that believes everything is okay and remains happy because of it, almost to a fault.
