Selfie1
noun self·ie \ˈsel-fē\
: an image of oneself taken by oneself using a digital camera especially for posting on social networks
With a world-famous celebrity, in an enviable vacation destination, or before a sumptuous slice of delicacy – it seems understandable, and even necessary, to capture rate moments of privilege, pleasure, and beauty with a selfie. We wouldn’t think twice about taking a self- portrait and sharing it with friends during special; days.
Taking pictures or ourselves of ourselves, however, has evolved into a totally different animal unleashed by the power of ubiquitous social media – Facebook, Instagram, Twitter, Snapchat, etc.
