Guichang chen: Who Takes Selfies?

Selfiecity is investigating the style of selfies in five cities. It talks about people taking selfies     from different sites. Some data does surprise me and I find interest in it. By understanding the word “selfies”, it should be the photo of oneself, but looking at the data, we can see that only about four percent of selfies are actually the person oneself. Most of them are animals, objects, sports or their friends.People tend to not taking picture of themselves or they are more conformable with taking photo with something else, objects or other people.  people may feel awkward if they post the photo with their own in it. If someone does, he/she must be very confidence of himself/herself. By looking at the selfies, I find that people are not smiling naturally in the photo. They will give a smile, but that’s not by heart. People want to show their happiness to the community and hide the sadness of their lives. Moreover, according to the data, we know that women are more likely to take selfies than men do which is what is happening in this world right now. Women are very excited to share their lives to the public or to their friends by posting their selfies. People in NewYork are in the average of the five cities of smiling when taking selfies. We know that people who is living in New York will have pressure, but by comparing to other cities, they are not the saddest one, which can say that, people live in NewYork know how to relax on the weekend and get rid of the pressure.
