What is Digital Narcissism? – Digital Narcissism Definition

Definition: There is no officially recognized definition of Digital Narcissism or Online Narcissism. Andrew Keen, first started talking about Digital Narcissism in 2006. In his new book, Digital Vertigo: How Today’s Online Social Revolution Is Dividing, Diminishing, and Disorienting Us talks about digital narcissism as: “a self-promotional madness driven by our need to continually manufacture our own fame to the world” … “This gives narcissists the opportunity to fall in love with themselves all over again, thereby creating a world of infinite “self-promotion” and “shallow “web relationships”. He calls Web 3.0 the era of digital Narcissism.

Andrew Keen and other online privacy advocates are opposed to unrestricted sharing of personal information on social media platforms and the idea of Web 3.0. He has deleted his Facebook account.
