Get ready for the next level of attention whoring; the selfie stick.
The selfie stick could be a fad, but it could also become so common no one comments when someone pulls one out.

Vendors in the United States report selling out of selfie sticks, and the GoPro-Edition telescopic monopod is currently the 49th most popular item in the Amazon camera store.

Not sure what is on the stick but it takes photos
______________ Selfie sticks first gained traction in Southeast Asia, a region that contains four of the top 10 "selfiest" cities in the world. The Huffington Post reported in March that young people in Indonesia have clamored for the extendable metal wands to help improve their selfie game.

We are so utterly disconnected from one another that we can’t even ask a stranger to snap a photo for us, you see?
We’ve become atomized and have lost senses of modesty and community.

Taiwanese actress Rainie Yang selfies herself on Facebook ALL the time. Every day it seems she is posing with a puppy, a stuffed animal, a drinking glass... 4 pics with a drinking glass!

YIKES! Went to the link and the second picture. That’s too much chest real estate for those girls.
There’s probably going to be an inner city fad where some feral steals one of these glorified mechanical arms and beats the owner with it.
