THE WORD OF THE YEAR

According to Oxford´s Dictionaries  SELFIE is the word of the year because the frequency of its usage increased by 17,000% over the past 12 months!

But what is the definition of selfie? 
A picture taken of yourself that is planned to be uploaded to Facebook, Myspace or any other sort of social networking website. You can usually see the person's arm holding out the camera in which case you can clearly tell that this person does not have any friends to take pictures of them ;) A selfie is usually accompanied by a kissy face or the individual looking in a direction that is not towards the camera.
Nowadays there are many celebrities that upload their selfies to social nets like Twitter.



What do you think? Are you a selfie addict?
Do you think they are simple fun and creative self-expressions? 
Or do you think they bring up some disturbing issues and important questions?
