I wouldn't be surprised to find these characteristic changes to be similar across generations. Do you think the next generation will be harder working, have a lesser sense of entitlement, or be less narcissistic than this one?
The thing to put into perspective is that its presented as though the baby-boomers are the 'base line' for normal behaviour (or at least, 'base behaviour') from which 'new behaviour' is being measured. They were probably as equally independent, self-entitled, and narcissistic compared to their elders as we are compared to them.
