After I retired from active duty in the United Nations last February, I found myself having a little more time for facebook, a bit of chatting, and more social emailing. I started seeing a lot of selfies on FB, wondering why would people want to take pictures of themselves? Being from the older school, even with a mass communication background, I was used to being photographed by someone else. But this selfie is a new fad! Then I went home to the Philippines and not only did I enjoy being "selfied", I found myself doing selfie's with family members, and friends. It is addicting. I have also learned the techniques of getting it right - from a certain angle, to make everyone look good, as well as fit into the screen. The monopods have become very popular - extending arms to make a long shot!
I wonder what the next craze would be... Still, I consider myself low techy compared to my nieces and nephews who are so adept with it, as well as with texting without looking. All my text messages often have typos in them even when I look as I type! I either need better eyeglasses, or super large fonts, or just a bigger keyboard for androids!
