It has been asserted (both through popular perception and through data-driven research) that Generation Y is more self-centered, and some would say, narcissistic, than other generations who came before. With the advent of social media, "selfies," and other Web 2.0 integration, this perception has gained more popularity in recent years.Assuming this is the case, what does this mean for the future of this generation, and perhaps the future of Humanities? Provide any relevant examples to support your claim.Need only 5 sentnces
