Selfie's

written by Matthew Rensberry, MD MBA on 2020-07-15

"A selfie, like any photograph, interrupts experience to mark the moment....

The selfie makes us accustomed to putting ourselves and those around us 'on pause' in order to document our lives. It is an extension of how we have learned to put our conversations 'on pause' when we send or receive a text, an image, an email, a call. [When you get accustomed to a life of stops and starts, you get less accustomed to reflecting on where you are and what you are thinking]."
