We live in an increasingly narcissistic culture. Technology has given us so many ways to express our love for ourselves. We can post pictures of ourselves on Facebook, tweet them on Twitter, share them on Instagram, or snap them on Snapchat. One of our favorite new activities is to use our smart phones to take "selfies," a word that transparently reveals our enchantment with ourselves. The more we play with our new toys, the more we become obsessed with sending our images into the ether, for all, or at least our friends, to see. We have become shameless self-promoters.
