Today is #SelfieDay – send us yours to be published
Selfie Day is best celebrated by taking tons and tons of selfies
Selfies have probably existed as long as hand-held cameras have been a thing.
Human vanity is so utterly profound that if we’re given the opportunity to do something self-aggrandizing, we do. This habit, in our defense, doesn’t seem to be strictly human in nature.
Given access to a camera and a little time to figure it out, monkeys will start snapping selfies like no one’s business.
In 2014, BBC officially declared a Selfie Day, which amusingly heralded a sudden decline in selfies. Interestingly, there was a similar drop after the Oxford English Dictionary added ‘selfie’ to its pages. Apparently making something official is a damned fine way of making sure no one wants to do them anymore.
But don’t let that worry you, we’re pretty sure the selfie is definitely here to stay, especially since there have been a series of inventions to make it easier to do. From the ‘selfie-stick’ to the write mounted drone that will take flight and snap a photo of you on request, selfie technology is getting more advanced every day.
How to celebrate Selfie Day
Selfie Day is best celebrated by taking tons and tons of selfies in pursuit of the perfect one.
So get out there with your camera and take a picture of yourself every time the opportunity presents itself, we won’t judge you!
You can even buy yourself a selfie-stick to take pictures of yourself with. For once you don’t have to be embarrassed to take a selfie to post on your profiles, you’ve got one clear excuse and an absolute pass on it for the day. It’s Selfie Day!
