The selfie stick: an invention that came out of 2005 with a vengeance, leaving everybody with a strong opinion about it. Seemingly simple, creating a stick that you can use to take photos of yourself turned out to be actually quite revolutionary, and within what felt like minutes, everybody suddenly seemed to have one.
But whether or not you had a selfie stick, you certainly had some pretty stubborn thoughts about selfie sticks. Either you decided that it was an incredibly helpful tool to use while traveling to get photos of you and your travel buddy, or you thought it was embarrassing and gauche, looking down on the people who used them.
Maybe you wanted to try a selfie stick but, because of all of that judgment, never bothered to buy one, thinking it would be embarrassing to be seen with one in public. Well, we’re here to break that stigma. Because selfies sticks are actually incredibly useful.
After all, don’t you want to have nice photos of yourself on vacation that are actually taken at enough of a distance that you can see all of the beautiful sights in the background? Yeah, us too. And that’s why we flaunt our selfie sticks proudly.
Because when you’re older and looking back on the photo albums of your travel adventures, you won’t remember if somebody around you looked you funny for using a selfie stick. But you will remember all of those amazing memories you were able to capture because you had one.
