Oxford Dictionaries announced that
selfie as their international Word of the Year 2013. The Oxford Dictionaries Word of the Year is a word or expression that has attracted a great deal of interest during the year to date. Language research conducted by Oxford Dictionaries editors reveals that the frequency of the word
selfie in the English language has increased by 17,000% since this time last year.
Although Robert Cornelius was not making duck faces in the 1800s, he is responsible for the first daguerreotype and the first documented self portrait. So think of old Cornelius next time you're angling your limbs to perfect the skinny arm. Take a step back in time and witness the true pioneers of the
selfie, before Photoshop was even a flicker of code.
