We prefer online conversations that revolve around images and photos

More than 50 million snaps are sent everyday
Majority of these snaps are selfies
We interrupt experience to mark the moment
We put those around us on pause

We rely on others’ perceptions, judgments, and appraisals to develop our social self
We become obsessed with this connected world…
We end up alone together
