"Selfie Mode"
In this modern era of life, technology is our partner; through cooking, communicating, studying, and many more. One of the most used machines that were empowered by technology nowadays is cell phone, a wireless and easy to use machine were you can text, or call or for other entertainments such as music, games and camera.
The word Selfie is still trending these days. Selfie is a word used when you are taking photos of yourself;
with or without other people. It’s a fact that, even a kinder grade kid can
take selfies. And that’s why this
word was declared as the WORD OF THE YEAR
in the year 2013. The influence
of social media sites made a great help on promoting this word.
Some Selfie pose were when you have new
clothes; when you’re bored; when you’re proud, or anything you want; even foods
were taken before eating. In other words, cameras were used for taking a Selfie pictures to express your thoughts,
ideas or emotions. Then after taking pictures, people will add captions like #duckface, #tingin sa kawalan to show
your drama scene, #againsthemirror,
#sexy, #mysterious which is, when you only take photos some of the parts of
your face, #outfitoftheday. People’s mind
was creative enough to invent a new word that will describe a thousand ideas.
However, all things have negative
sides; people, even kids learn to demand higher cell phone units, they are becoming
more addicted on using phones and social media sites. Some people were also
uploading over reacted poses though they knew that many people can see it.
What I’m saying is they are
becoming more addicted on pictures and poses, which even small thing, they want
to take photos then upload it. Then bashers will now enter; cyber bullying and
other forms of bad habits on social Medias will now entry.
One example of cyber bullying is the case of Aush Mariano,
he has a mental disorder but can understand people. He takes pictures of
himself and uploads it on face book. But other people make fun of his photos by
adding captions or editing; the worst part is that he didn’t know that people
were doing these things on his photos. Also,
physiologists say that, taking photos of you too much can cause a narcissistic
problem.
I’m not a Selfie hater
because I also doing it. I just want to say that, all things have its own limit.
You have to control on what you can do; and thank for what you have. It’s not
bad to take photos and be proud of yourself, you just have to learn the meaning
of limit.
