Here I Am Taking My Own Picture

The Selfie is the new way that people share every moment of their lives with their friends.  Alex William wrote a very interesting article about this narcissistic tendency. Personally, I like to share pictures with my family because we live in different places.  To that extent, this new tool that allows me to take pictures of myself is great for me. However, I think some users exaggerate the use of “selfies” by posting “selfies” every hour to a largely inattentive audience.  I generally look at pictures of my family when a family member directs me to look at a photo to provide feedback on the photo. For example, my sisters like to send “selfies” when they change the hairstyle or undertake some other change to their physical appearance. William’s article is very funny despite the fact that it is not very clear whether the article was written prior to the consistent use of the word, “selfie”.
