Sincé the beginning of appearance of Smartphones and new technological gadgets our lifes have changed.
The use of them has originated the birth of a new trend, called "Selfie" ( at least is like we called it in Spain)
This one consits in taking your own pictures with your mobile pones, Tablet .... Once you have taken it you can upload to the social networks or simply keep it yourself.
Everybody takes pictures from themselves. Sometimes it is an amazing way of sparing your free time. To remember that place where you were and you wanted to have a souvenir.
All of this about this new trend is very funny, and indeed in some TV Programs ask people to send them their best selfies to show to the audiencie.
This new trend has some danger, sometimes very dangers to us. Yesterday I read an article in the newspaper about it. A couple from Poland, lost their lifes in front of their children of 6 and 4 years ( more or less). They were in Portugal, and they wanted to take a photo from theirselves from a touristic cliff. When they were taking their picture they dropped throught the cliff to the sea. They died in that momento and their children asked help. Their bodies were found two day later due to the bad conditions of the sea.
The problema is that the following day, they were people taking pictures from the same day. It's a pity, but I think we have to be sure of all things that we do.
I don't know if in English this is called Selfie like here in Spain. All celebrities use it. Thanks to the use of new techonologies and especially the social networks this trend has been spreaded quickly. Everybody wants to be like celebrities, everybody wants to imitate them. This is our world.

(1) better: ...has spawned a new trend...

I don't really think of celebrities with this trend. I think of normal people. I assume celebrities have professional photographers to take their pictures.
