SELFIE

The first-known appearance of selfie in written form occurred in 2002 on an

Australian news website, but the word didn't see much use until 2012. By

November 2013, selfie was appearing frequently enough in print and

electronic media that the Oxford English Dictionary chose the word as its

Word of the Year. This announcement itself led to a significant increase in

the use of the word by news organizations, an increase that was further

boosted following the December 10, 2013, memorial service for Nelson

Mandela, at which American President Barack Obama was caught taking a

selfie with Danish Prime Minister Helle Thorning-Schmidt and British Prime

Minister David Cameron. The word selfie, with its suggestions of self-

centeredness and self-involvement, was particularly popular with critics who

saw this moment as a reflection of the President's character.

Thank you for looking. Rates Comments highly appreciated.

at my schools students are constantly taking selfies.

We are all taking selfies. It's just that our selfies are of other people. The artist is always doing portraits of how others respond to the artist, not how they picture themselves. Perhaps, we all hate selfies because the subject has stopped looking at and waiting for us. It is like the executioner who comes to take the prisoner to the gallows, but finds him hanging on his bed post.

"SELFIE",...it's an...EPIDEMIC!!!
