Selfies have become strongly entrenched in mass culture and everyday life. The internet is simply overflowing with billions of identical photographs, and this trend shows no signs of diminishing. Not only ordinary people, but also athletes, musicians, politicians, everyone takes selfies.

 

Youth in particular, but not only them, compete to see who can take a more impressive photo. The best ones, of course, are selfies with celebrities and those taken in extreme conditions.
