I think you’d all agree with me that everyone, ok maybe not e-v-e-r-y-o-n-e, but most certainly a high percentage of everyone’s Facebook friends has taken to taking selfies of themselves. Am I right? It seems to be the latest craze. And it is certainly the latest ‘in’ word as it made the Oxford Dictionary’s Word of the Year for 2013.

Anyway most of us would think that this craze started a few years ago when digital cameras and mobile phones with cameras made it easier to take photographs of ourselves. Wrong!

In fact selfies seems to be a whole lot older that that … a LOT older.
