{"Image ImageDescription": "In this photograph taken on June 15, 2015, young Indian students take a 'selfie' on Marine Drive promenade in Mumbai. Selfies have become a global phenomenon with users rarely missing an opportunity to snap a photo of themselves, whether it be in front of a world-famous landmark or simply at dinner with friends. While people may have enjoyed having their photo taken since self-portraits first appeared in 1839, the invention of smartphones with front-facing cameras is fuelling a different type of selfie in the 21st century. A Pew Research Center poll last year estimated that more than half of 18-33 year olds had taken their own portrait before sharing it on social networks online. The phenomenon has fuelled special technology to help users take the perfect shot, most notably the now-ubiquitous selfie stick.
