“The urge to self-photograph and upload, to document and publish our every significant experience, was in the news again last month, when it was reported that several holiday companies are marketing ‘Instagram-friendly tours’ catering for ‘ego travellers’ among the millennial generation.

So, millennials would rather pull a duck face in front of Machu Picchu than go to Magaluf for 30 units of alcohol a day and an increased chance of contracting herpes. The message seems to be: young people today are still awful, but in a different way.”
