I read a book about this called "The Narcissism Epidemic: Living in the Age of Entitlement" by Jean Twenge. Today's younger generation scores higher on questionnaires that measure narcissism than previous generations. The media and social networking and the prospect of instant internet fame have a lot to do with it. My generation (I'm 28) was also told constantly that we're "special" and "unique" and we could be anything we wanted. For the record, the people who scored the highest of any group on the questionnaire were reality TV "stars."
