How does this story end?

(CNN) -- We are the most narcissistic generation in American history. And when I say "generation" -- I'm not pointing my finger at millennials, gen X/Yers, or baby boomers. The generation I speak of is defined by people who use social media to incessantly share information about their favorite topic: themselves. I, too, am part of this "selfie generation." (And if you don't know what "selfie" means, you're not.) We knew "selfie" had become emblematic of who we are when the Oxford Dictionary recently named it as 2013's word of the year. "Narcissistic?" you say. "What can you mean?" Well, the new craze of "funeral selfies" is a clue: People snap a self-portrait in front of the body at a wake and share it on social media. For some, these selfies may actually be a way of grieving, but for others, it's clearly about drawing attention to themselvesâ€”even away from the recently deceased.

Hur slutar den här historien? (CNN) -- Vi är den mest narcissistiska generationen i amerikansk historia. Och när jag säger "generation" -- så pekar jag inte finger mot millennials, gen X/Yers, eller baby boomers. Den generation jag talar om definieras av människor som använder sociala medier för att oupphörligt dela information om sitt favoritämne: sig själva. Jag är också en del av denna "selfie generation". (Och om du inte vet vad "selfie" betyder, är du inte.) Vi visste att "selfie" hade blivit symboliskt för vilka vi är när Oxford Dictionary nyligen kallade det för 2013 års ord. "Narcissistisk?" säger du. »Vad kan du mena?» Tja, den nya vurmen av "funeral selfies" är en ledtråd: Folk knäpper ett självporträtt framför kroppen vid en vaka och delar det på sociala medier. För vissa, dessa selfies kan faktiskt vara ett sätt att sörja, men för andra, det handlar helt klart om att dra uppmärksamhet till sig självaâ € “även bort från den nyligen avlidna. Vi har redan sett hur ALTERNATIV: - Amerikanen har tillåtit så många, inklusive mig själv, att twittra sina mest ogenomtänkta tankar: en delad villfarelse att allt vi säger är så intressant/bevekande/roligt att det genast måste erbjudas till världen. - CNN har tillåtit så många, inklusive mig själv, att twittra sina mest oförnuftiga tankar: en delad villfarelse att allt vi säger är så intressant/bevekande/roligt att det genast måste erbjudas till världen. - Dean Obeidallah har tillåtit så många, inklusive mig själv, att twittra sina mest oförnuftiga tankar: en delad villfarelse att allt vi säger är så intressant/bevekande/roligt att det genast måste erbjudas till världen. - Facebook har tillåtit så många, inklusive mig själv, att twittra sina mest oförnuftiga tankar: en delad villfarelse att allt vi säger är så intressant/roligt att det genast måste erbjudas till världen. - Narcissistiska har låtit så många, inklusive mig själv, twittra sina mest ogenomtänkta tankar: en delad villfarelse att allt vi säger är så intressant/bevekande/roligt att det genast måste erbjudas till världen. - Obeidallah har tillåtit så många, inklusive mig själv, att twittra sina mest oförnuftiga tankar: en delad villfarelse att allt vi säger är så intressant/bevekande/roligt att det genast måste erbjudas till världen. - Oxford Dictionary har tillåtit så många, inklusive mig själv, att twittra sina mest ogenomtänkta tankar: en delad villfarelse att allt vi säger är så intressant/bevekande/roligt att det genast måste erbjudas till världen. - Photobomb har tillåtit så många, inklusive mig själv, att twittra sina mest ogenomtänkta tankar: en delad villfarelse att allt vi säger är så intressant/bevekande/roligt att det genast måste erbjudas till världen. - Twitter har tillåtit så många, inklusive mig själv, att twittra sina mest oförnuftiga tankar: en delad villfarelse att allt vi säger är så intressant/roligt att det genast måste erbjudas till världen. - Yers har tillåtit så många, inklusive mig själv, att twittra sina mest oförnuftiga tankar: en delad villfarelse att allt vi säger är så intressant/roligt att det genast måste erbjudas till världen.
