Ever since the advent of selfies, people seem to have obsessed upon taking pictures of themselves in almost every kind of situation that they are in. For them, these photos represent memories immortalized through photographs.
In order to make selfies more wider in scope in the capturing of more people and more beautiful sceneries, the selfie stick was invented. It has, ever since, revolutionized the taking of selfies.
However, there are instances when, selfies sticks, when used in inappropriate situations, pose a danger to one's life.
In this video, the dangers of selfie sticks when used improperly are presented. The video posits that when the camera is moved farther away from the center of the selfies with the use of a selfie stick, there is an effect that creates the illusion that other objects, places, and people exist in that particular moment.
With the obsession on the use of the selfie sticks, more people began to focus more on how they would appear on camera than on what appears in reality. This thus creates a diversion of people's attention away from reality which, in turn, creates a danger to one's outlook in life. The focus given on appearance that actuality detaches one to reality, and thus pose a danger to their perception of the world.
The obsession with selfies have now thus created a world of illusion in which the self is regarded as the center of the universe. Those obsessed with selfies focus more on their appearance, than to the fantastic beauty that reality has to offer, say for instance, the beautiful sceneries of a natural wonder, or the magnificence of creating relationships with other humans, among others.
People should learn to remove themselves away from the formula. They should learn that there are other things in life, other than one's self, that is worth appreciating.
