"What I..."
What I do before class:
Selfies in our society today are viewed in many different ways due to the different ways people use technology. Selfies are an easy way to capture a moment or image. Selfies have been taken too far; some younger people take selfies everyday, even when they are walking or in class. Selfies have changed a lot of people’s persona because selfies of them are on the internet or social media. LinkedIn and Instagram both have forced people in society to expose selfies of themselves exposing images of them to the world. Selfies are dangerous in a few ways. Photos and video capabilities today have caused many issues to people in terms of getting in trouble or being in the wrong place at the wrong time. In professional sports, athletes have recently been becoming guilty of crimes on video or a photo that would have not been captured 20-30 years ago. There is a large range of appropriate selfies; there are linkedIn (professional selfies) and fun/cool selfies. Recently I found myself on a thread showing the “most dangerous” selfies. It consisted of people standing on top of buildings, on rollercoasters, in exotic places that were risky to capture in the moment on their cell phones. I found these to be extremely stupid and not worth the image. All in all, selfies have grown to be a popular term with many different connotations depending on what generation you ask.
1.) Brush my teeth
2.) Shower
3.) Eat breakfast or lunch
4.) Check my backpack to make sure I have all I need
5.) Put my jacket on and walk to class
