I think selfies are a way to capture yourself in the moment you want to remember. You can also use it to capture yourself and the background instead of asking a stranger to take a picture for you. Selfies also offer instant gratification so we can see the outcome of the photo as well as if we like our own face in the photo as well. Selfies can be a good or bad thing depending on how it's used. If you want to show off a luxurious lifestyle on social media, taking selfies with expensive items and such, is not the best way to make use of your front facing camera. I think selfies can be used for good when shared with close friends or family and giving them the moments you want to remember .
