We’ll Take 25,000 Selfies In Our Lives???

Our self-obsessed culture may be getting a little too ridiculous.

A new survey says people born after 1980 will take about 25,000 selfies during their lifetime...and we spend about 54 HOURS taking selfies each year.

The new data shows that 95% of us have taken a selfie...and that people spend up to seven minutes taking and re-taking a selfie to get the perfect pic. I mean, if the angle and lighting aren't right, WHAT'S THE POINT???

About 63% of millennials said that a vacation trip is the most popular place to snap a selfie. More than half of the sample admitted that they fix their hair before taking a photo of themselves, and 53% said they check themselves out in the mirror.

Nearly 47%of the respondents confessed to practicing their facial expressions before taking their picture. [Zee News]

20% (1 out of 5!) think it's cool to take a selfie at a FUNERAL. You might also be surprised at the percentage of people who think the following is acceptable:

• 47% are perfectly OK with snapping a selfie during childbirth.
• 50% are down with naked selfies.
• 30% have no problem with taking a selfie during sex.

Considering the survey estimates that the average millennial spends around 54 hours a year taking selfies, it's doubtful there will be any kind of "selfie control" anytime soon. [Huffington Post]
