The Queen of England thinks its "strange" to see a wall of cellphone cameras wherever she goes. I agree, but here's why I'm not disgusted.
I realized the word "selfie" had, in some circles, all but replaced the word "photo" during the long weekend I spent entrenched in the world of YouTube fandom at VidCon. Though the mobs of mostly teenage girls would, when I asked them why they had come to the conference, say they wanted to meet their favorite YouTube celebrities, the chief prize was a collection of selfies that featured their favorite YouTube celebrities as props.
