To be honest, I really don't understand your point, are you arguing that we have become too self-involved, or too materialistic? In that case, I'd argue that we've always been like that, yet we're only just at the point where we can indulge in it.
And, I will say this, to do with your standards thing - we are currently going through the biggest evolution in human history, and things are changing, and very quickly. Indeed, one would predict that the world of 2030 will be completely unimaginable when compared to today, and I'm not just talking technologically - I'm talking politically, and economically as well.
2030 will be post-oil, there will be no superpower states - in fact, states in themselves will probably be a dying concept, starvation will be a thing of the past, as will energy security worries. International borders will be reduced to none as to attract as many workers as possible - particularly in Europe.
Of course, we'll also be living in a time where small groups of people will have the ability to destroy cities and countries, not just buildings, at a relatively low cost, and low difficulty.
The future looks to be both very, very exciting, and very, very scary.
