Step 2 Introduction of Background Information山居秋暝
A ifie is a lf-portrait photograph, typically taken with a digital camera or camera phone held in the h
and social networking rvices such as facebook, Instagram and Twitter. They are usually flattering and made to appear casual. Most lfies are taken with a camera held at arm's length or pointed at a mirror, rather than by using a lf-timer.
The term"lfie"was discusd by photographer Jim Krau in 2005, although photos in the lfie genre predate the widespread u of the term. In the early 2000s, before Facebook became the dominant online social network, lf-taken photographs were particularly common on MySpace. However, writer Kate Los recounts that between 2006 and 2009 (when Facebook became more popular than MySpace), the"MySpacepic"(typically"an amateurish, flash-blinded lf-portrait,often taken in front of a bathroom mirror") became anindication of bad taste for urs of the newer Facebook social network. Early Facebook portraits, in contrast, were usually well-focud and more formal, taken by others from distance. In 2009 in the image hosting and video hosting website Flickr, Flickr urs ud"lfies"to describe emingly entdless lf-portraits posted by teenage girls. According to
宏伟造句Los,improvements in design-especially the front-facing camera of the iphone 4 (2010), mobile photo apps such as Instagram and Snapchat led to the resurgence of lfies in the early 2010s.
Initially popular with young people, lfies gained wider popularity over time. By the end of 2012,Time magazine considered lfie one of the"top 10 buzzwords"of that year, although lfies had existed long before, it was in 2012 that the term"really big time".According to a 2013 survey,two-thirds of Australian women aged 18-35 take lfies- the most common purpo for which is posting on Facebook.A poll commissioned by smartphone and camera maker Samsung found that lfies make up 30% of the photostaken by people aged 18-24.By 2013,the word"lfie"had become commonplace enough to be monitored for inclusion in the online version of the Oxford English Dictionary.In November 2013,the word"lfie"was
announced as being the"word of the year”by the
0xford English Dictionary,which gave the word itlf an Australian origin.
