Selfies

'Selfies' are a huge thing amongst younger people and have been for years. But recently the trend of taking selfies, mainly to put up on Instagram and Twitter, has been taken on by celebrities and even political figures when at high profile events. Bradley Cooper and Gerard Butler were seen taking photos together at Wimbledon and today Obama, Cameron and Danish pm Helle Thorning-schmidt were seen taking selfies as Nelson Mandela's memorial service. The appropriateness of the situation has been called into question as obviously this was meant to be a sombre event.
