selfies

How any millions of dollars worth of electricity has been spent on storing instagram selfies?

Infact id say easier for certain people who post selfies on public sites, ripm.

All noble uses for the technology, but I suspect the most popular use will be to take better selfies.

I was biased though, since I did not have much trouble with making selfies and didn't care much about them.

Also to note, under current law, those selfies are images of abuse.

Maybe they should be talking about it (instead to spending the narrow window of time opened, making selfies and funny jokes about men and sexism).

Telling your network about that indiscretion (and reminding them in your selfies) may have them thinking of you when new sources of income come up.

Then it could also be used for taking photos and selfies.

This may have been a hint that I was talking about images of actual child abuse rather than selfies taken by teenagers.

It sounds like a service for organizing your selfies.

Not dragnets of everyone's naked selfies.

And Instagram is marketed towards making sunsets and pictures of flowers look better, allowing users to realize for themselves that a Gaussian blur might make their selfies look better too.

"Is it worth storing so many cat pictures and selfies?"

Not to discount the OP's points, but this smells like the tech industry equivalent of your worst Facebook friend—the one with a penchant for selfies with Starbucks skinny vanilla lattes—hashtagging an inane event with "whitepeopleproblems".

From wikipedia: "a subculture is a group of people within a culture that differentiates itself from the larger culture to which it belongs, though often maintaining some of its founding principles." Those who do selfies are not identifying themselves as part of their own group, and separate from the larger culture.

So yes, your phone bill will be unsurprising at the end of the month, but now your carrier will expect you to purchase a bucket of "roaming data" in the form of an add-on or package to your regular phone plan so that you can post your selfies with the Eiffel Tower in real time.
