2013 was the year of the selfie. The term was added to the Oxford English Dictionary and deemed their “word of the year”! Most people think that the selfie was invented just a short time ago when Instagram rose to popularity, but it has actually had a long and fruitful past. Think Van Gogh’s self-portraits, the first self-taken Polaroids, and pixelated flip phone photos! But selfies have really turned a new leaf in today’s digital, photo-obsessed world, and people have invented a plethora of new selfies — the sleeping selfie, muscle-man selfie, no-makeup selfie, the food selfie, and more.
