jazzy_daveICTs - Information and Communication Technologies are my thoughts and concerns of the day ,and in particular something i have been rather complicit in ,selfies.
Every day Facebook users upload 350 million photos, Instagrammers share 95 million photos and there are 3 billion Snapchat snaps. A central element of visual sharing online involves 'selfies' - which often generate more comment than anything else. But why this fascination with images that can often be repetitive and unimaginative? Do they feed a culture of unhealthy narcissism, as critics assert, or are they a more complex cultural phenomenon? Also,are we public by default and private by huge effort?
Also, why are some people turning their back on the use of any information communication technologies?
Discuss.
