The origins of the "selfie"!

A selfie is a self-portrait photography taken by a camera or a smartphone. The term was first coined by Jim Krause in his 2005 book 'Photo Idea Index'.
Selfies began on MySpace with the digital camera. On this social network people could put up a little bit of their biogrpahy and pictures of themselves. That's where selfies were born!
This trend has come to the rise of ths selfie stick (a monopod that attaches to a smartphone and holds it in place, while its handle extend so the user can fit a group or the background into the photo and snap the selfie with a press of a button).
There are many types of selfie:

• The best side of me
• The bed selfie
•  The beach feet brag selfie
• The bathroom selfie
• The gym selfie
• I saw a celebrity selfie  
• The duckface selfie
