It looks like some sort of newfangled telephonic device, but I can't see the wires.
As for selfies, I could take a photo of a monument I'm looking at, which would be way worse than a photo of the monument I could find on Google in seconds. Or I could take a photo of me at the monument, and make a much better memento IMO.
Or you could just label it as vanity, whatever suits your grumpy old man argument.

we did buy her a camera, and she got the hang of taking pictures pretty quickly. She often takes pictures of things she has made. She also uses an iPad occasionally and found the camera on that.
The other week we went through the pics on the iPad. As well as 2000 screenshots of a CBeebies app we also found some of the most beautiful "selfies" ever. I even had a couple printed on canvas and hung in the house.
nothing to do with vanity or moral decline, just a kid playing with the technology available to her..... at least for now

In the absence of any explanation that could be understood by any reasonable person - and none so far has met this criterion, I'm sorry to say but I have no choice but to fall back on the default belief that selfies are synonymous with narcissism.
I believe you've just confirmed my fears. If this is true, then it's a sad indictment on the youth of today that they consider the most important thing in their lives to be themselves. Thank God we didn't have a society of today's youth in 1939. We'd all be writing in German if that were the case.

It isn't narcissism to value your life and to put yourself first.
If you have kids then fine, yes they are a priority- but otherwise yes, put yourself first.

So far, the only one seemingly interested in a serious discussion is @Snap (apologies to anyone else if I missed you, but I am pissed). The defenders of selfie culture haven't come up with any logical defence or explanation, but have relied on taking the piss. It's almost as if they haven't thought about it.

And if this doesn't get any more than the measly 1 wiz i got for my last post in this thread I'm going to go into a deep depression.
