You have to be amazed at how easy self-promotion is in this day and age. I wonder if it's having an impact on our psyche as a whole... Are we feeling better about ourselves now that we can "be somebody" so easily? Are there therapists holding conventions as we speak, figuring out how to reverse this trend and save their careers?

I think so - the effect bit, not the therapists conventions - but I think it's hard and way too early to tell I guess. I definitely think we'll be an entirely different kind of 'pensioners' for instance than the old people we see now. And by then the participatory web will have evolved even further.
No matter how involved (or not) we, as individuals, may have been in the web since the nineties, as a generation we'll certainly go: Oh that, yeah well, we invented all that. Cool.
