Maybe at some level, young folks feel somewhat lost and invisible. Many of them have electronic interests...which leave no markers of even having existed. Previous generations were encouraged to have interests that demonstrated abilities. How much can most kids do to cars these days? Build R/C stuff from scratch? Build electronic components? I can't remember the last young woman I met that showed off her sewing or craft skills....much less woodworking or car wrenching. I'm sure they're out there.
Sure, some may be an obsession with self. We all grew up with folks who never lost a chance to glance at themselves while passing a mirror or window. But some of this may simply be a simple version of, "I selfie, therefore I am."
