Selfies are a digital self portrait
Selfies are a way of documenting and keeping track of
our lives
There is a primal human urge to stand outside of ourselves
and look at ourselves
We leave them as traces for others to find
Photo by Clever Cupcakes (Flickr)
Our faces act as the caption to what we try to say in a
Selfie
The Selfie acts as the medium and we are the message
Dopamine Squirt…
We get excited when someone “likes” or “shares” our
Selfies
We have grown to enjoy the world more by
inserting ourselves into it
Photo by Alec Couros (Flickr)
We prefer online conversations that revolve around
images and photos
Snapchat, Facetime, and Skype all gives us the ability
to see our own faces
Photo by Vishal Kandpur (Flickr)
Selfies are also popular because they allow for users to
change their appearance
This gives people the opportunity to chose how they
are perceived by others
Phones and other digital devices all allow us to take
Selfies
Selfies appear everywhere in our media

More than 50 million snaps are sent everyday
Majority of these snaps are selfies
There are some negative effects caused by Selfies
Photo by Donncha O Caoimh (Flickr)
We interrupt experience to
mark the moment
We put those around us
on pause
Photo by Eric Verdaasdonk (Flickr)
Selfies can be linked to narcissism and obsession with
beauty and body image
`
Photo by Christian Bueno (Flickr)
We rely on others’ perceptions, judgments, and
appraisals to develop our social self
We become obsessed with this connected world…
We end up alone together
