Selfie

This is a social phenomenon. A selfie is a self-patriot photograph , typically taken with digital camera. Selfies are often shared on social network like "Facebook , Instagram and Twitter". Selfies are also pointed at a mirror. Robert Cornelius in 1839 produced a photograph of himself and it's one of the first photograph of a persons. The usage "selfie" can be traced as far back as 2002 when it appeared in an Australian Internet Forum.Before Facebook become a famous social network , the selfies were common on MySpace. By the end of 2012 , Time magazine considered selfie one of the "top 10 buzzwords" of that year. Today it's very easy to take a photo and share it with a social. Now with these social there is more communication , but there are also some rules to follow; in fact the porn pictures are prohibited , even if some person make them. There are so much types of selfies like :
-The Healthy selfie : designed to show a healthy lifestyle ; go to the gym for example.

The Simpson

My favorite TV series is "The Simpson" . It is a very popular animated sitcom , that shows the lifestyle of Americans , through funny scenes . The main characters are : Homer , Marge and their three children Bart , Lisa and Maggie . It's unrealistic , but shows the reality . The shows high successful since its first appearance in TV in 1987 and many people really like it . I really like it because is funny , even if sometimes is a bit educationally harmful . I recommend this series to people that aren't very superficial . It's very beautiful !
