Part 1: 'It may be an understatement to say that selfies are enormously popular on social media. Google statistics have estimated that about 93 million selfies were taken per day in 2014, counting only those taken on Android devices.

Selfie accessories such as selfie sticks are now commonplace, as are selfie cameras on phones, and the word "selfie" was even added to the Oxford English Dictionary in 2013.

A new study, published in Frontiers in Psychology, finds that while selfies are extremely common, opinions on selfies can vary significantly. Some see selfies as a creative outlet and a way to connect with other people and others see them as narcissistic, self-promotional and inauthentic.'
