A few years ago, most people had never heard of the term, “selfie.” But now, selfies have become a huge part of popular culture, so much so that some companies are even selling selfie sticks, which are basically extendable poles that can attach to phones or cameras to better facilitate selfie-taking. So just how many people see the value in these selfie sticks? And how relevant might they become?
