Selfies have become increasingly popular since the early 2010s. The document discusses the history and evolution of selfies, including different types of selfies, technologies that have enabled easier selfie-taking, and debates around their social impacts. It also provides tips on taking flattering selfies and lists some smartphone apps and devices designed specifically for selfies.

2. An image of oneself taken by oneself
using a digital camera especially for posting
on social networks

3. 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.

4. There are two types of Selfies.
When it contains only one person, it is an Individual selfie.
If more than one person is captured in a selfie, then it's called as
'Group selfie.' The latter is also known as 'Groufie', 'Wefie', and
'Usie.' Whatever is the type, the purpose of such selfies is to
focus on the people in them.
The most popular is the individual selfie which can be shared
with close friends and relatives. Of late, Group selfies carry more
value as they showcase the relationship and unity of people.

5. Most selfies are taken at about arm’s length from the face,
and one unfortunate side-effect of this is that facial features can
become very distorted. Whichever part of the face is closest to the
camera, usually the nose or forehead, becomes disproportionately
large, while features further away become relatively tiny.
It’s an effect we’ve largely become used to, especially in
social media images, and in some cases the effects may be seen as
desirable, for example when used to deliberately slim the face.
However, it’s also something photographers will usually go to
great lengths to avoid when taking a professional headshot.

6. Taking a great selfie requires two necessary elements: a
flattering facial pose and state-of-the-art technology.
That first part is something you'll have to work out on your
own, but when it comes to the tech side of the selfie equation,
device manufacturers have you covered. From smartphones
designed with self-portraits in mind to photo-snapping
sombreros, here are five technologies that can help you take
better selfies

7. Drone selfie & UAV Technology i.e. dronies
Lens style cameras with zooming facility
Selfie shine i.e. lighting
Selfie filter i.e. snap chat
Peta pixel camera
Hat holder
Brush holder
Stick holding
Self timer camera
Tripod
Scenery background

8. Editing
Know you r good side and bad angles
Don’t be serious
Stage it
Do something interesting
Don’t overdo it

10. Many vehicles now have video screens to keep kids entertained
on long car trips, and some models even have fighter jet-style
heads-up display systems that project navigation information
onto the dashboard. But now, automakers want to take in-car
displays even further.
Over the past several years, Toyota and General Motors have
been collaborating with design teams to develop interactive car
window concepts. While still in the idea phase, these advanced
car windows would give backseat passengers a way to capture
photos and video, zoom in on distant objects, create drawings or
share messages with other people on the road.

11. You may no longer need a photographic memory to keep a bunch
of photos on hand, because your hand (literally) could one day be
used to display photos. Advances in user interfaces are making it
easier than ever to interact with projected images. For example,
Microsoft Research's Skinput project uses biosensors to turn
people's hands and arms into touch screens.
Other researchers, including John Rogers, a professor of
materials science and engineering at the University of Illinois in
Urbana, are making strides with stretchy electronics that can
hang onto human skin like a temporary tattoo.

12. Cloud Computing, which distributes information over a network,
means no longer having to print out every photo and put it into a
physical album — unless you really want to do so. Cloud services,
such as Dropbox, Google Drive, Flickr or SmugMug, abound these
days. Although each service has limitations, it’s possible to find free
or low-cost storage with custom settings that work with specific
smart devices. And you won't need any extra shelf space.

13. People have been waiting for thin, flexible and commercially
available electronic paper for what seems like ages now. Although
electronic displays have become thinner, the child in everyone
wants magical, moving photos like the ones depicted in the "Harry
Potter" films.
Still, there have been some new developments in this area:
Researchers at the Human Media Lab at Queen's University in
Canada unveiled their first prototype of PaperFold, a foldable,
shape-changing smartphone with three flexible displays.

14. Google Glass made “wearable technology” a household phrase,
but designers are continuing to explore ways of integrating
electronic displays into the clothes on your body.
At one extreme, there's the "Video Coat," created by Arizona-
based designer David Forbes in 2011; it's basically a wearable TV.
More recently, Scotch whiskey brand Ballantine's launched a
programmable digital T-shirt called tshirtOS, which contains an
LED display that connects to a smartphone app. In addition to
displaying messages and animations, the shirt can snap and show
photos.

15. Instead of passing around 2D photos, either on a device or
wedged between plastic in an album, how about sharing images
in three dimensions?
Earlier this spring, human-computer interaction researchers at
the University of Bristol in the United Kingdom showed off a
prototype for MisTable, a physical table that uses fog screens to
display drawings and photos. Users can then manipulate these
images in the air. The Scottish startup Holoxica is also raising
money to develop 3D holographic displays, and Apple recently
filed a patent for a 3D interactive-display system.

16. Magnetic storage tapes as a way to save photos in early
days. Sony recently unveiled a version of these tapes that
incorporates nanotechnology. allowing each cartridge to
record more than 185 terabytes of data. The record-breaking
development means the tapes have 74 times the capacity of
the average coated magnetic tapes, the company said. To
put that in perspective, the new version can handle the
equivalent of 3,700 Blu-ray discs.

17. Some people may spend $650 on the new iPhone 6 for its impressive screen size
or faster processor, but if you're a selfie aficionado, then you're probably
shelling out the bucks for the phone's new camera features. The newest iPhone
comes equipped with what Apple calls "burst mode," a feature that lets users
take up to ten pictures per second with one tap of the screen. And to facilitate
marathon selfie sessions, burst mode is available on the front as well as the back
camera.
Apart from being able to take 100 photos in ten seconds, the iphone 6 also
features a redesigned front camera, the "FaceTime HD camera," which captures
81 percent more light than previous versions of the phone and has improved
face detection, according to Apple.
But Apple isn't the only company with a so-called selfie smartphone. In fact, the
tech giant is a little late to the game. Earlier this year, HTC introduced its One
Mini 2, a smartphone with a 5-megapixel front camera, as well as a self-timer
and "touch up" feature for editing out blemishes and red eyes. Needless to say,
the phone was designed with selfie shooters in mind. Other leaders in the
smartphone space, including Samsung and Acer, also introduced devices with
selfie-friendly features earlier this year.

27. MIT Researchers Train An Algorithm To Predict How Boring Your
Selfie Is
Posted Dec 16, 2015 by Natasha Lomas (@riptari)
Researchers at MIT’s Computer Science and Artificial Intelligence Lab (CSAIL) have
created an algorithm they claim can predict how memorable or forgettable an
image is almost as accurately as a human — which is to say that their tech can
predict how likely a person would be to remember or forget a particular photo.
The algorithm performed 30 per cent better than existing algorithms and was within
a few percentage points of the average human performance, according to the
researchers.
How Marketers Are Mining Your Selfies for Data
Chances are, without you knowingces are when you post a selfie to Instagram or
Flickr, you're not thinking about giving marketers valuable data. But The Wall Street
Journal reports that's exactly what's happening as companies mine photos for insights
and trends.
Another service called Piqora stores thousands of images on its servers to identify
trends; it passes these insights along to clients who may want to design targeted
marketing campaigns. One of Piqora's clients is clothing and accessory maker Fossil,
which tracks its products and competing brands.
