Redefining Communications #FirstLetMeTakeASelfie

    A self-portrait speaks more than the gigantic poster hung on the drawing room wall. It is easier, accessible and potent enough to draw the potentials. Definitely, a trendsetter at the moment and being squeezed to its capacity before it fades away. A click has never been so effective with efficient angles to it. Photography has a new kind to it.

 Hereby exploring some major differences a selfie can make to your life:-

• The word 'Selfie' has been adopted as an official word and named as 'The word of the year' by Oxford Dictionaries in the Year 2013. So it is time we update our gadget dictionaries too with this word which is here to stay.

• It represents grittiness, self-confidence and zealousness. Specially women have become more complacent about the way they look.

• Instagram, Snapchat, Twitter and Facebook are accessed more times in a day, than the number of glasses consumed in a fortnight. 

• Fresh methods of status updates. After all, a picture paints a thousand words. 

• Transparency. People can no longer hide their inhibitions in a selfie which provides a greater clarity as compared to non-selfies. 

• Mighty tool to stalk your near and dear ones. Selfies just cannot be rebutted. 

• They redefine real-time gaming, in terms of number of expressions one can possibly produce at any given point of time. A great fosterer to innovate.

• The word boredom will soon traverse. With selfies time runs faster than having to read a single page of a textbook. 

• You no longer need someone else to get you new profile pictures. Be your own photographer.

• Marketers will love you. You might be swayed to appear on bill boards and be the next poster girl or boy. Hence, free publicity.
