Yes, we need an App for that. "For what?" you ask, "for the self-indulged ego-driven self-validation seeker to complete the perfect selfie for Instagram of course," I tell you. Let me explain.
You see, the other day, I met a "Selfie Extraordinaire" at Starbucks. She has selfies with all the Walt Disney characters from her two Disneyland visits, having gone back the second time to make sure she got Tweety Bird and Wiley E. Coyote. The girl explained to me that she spent over $400 during those two days at Disneyland. She didn't need to do that. In fact, all she really needed to do was take her picture by the Matterhorn a couple of castles, and alongside some of the major attractions while she enjoyed her day at the theme park. Then we could have merely Photoshopped in the cartoon characters.
I imagine instead she went running around the park trying to track down all the cartoon characters and probably did not enjoy herself, as she was more intent on getting the pictures for Facebook and Instagram. What a waste of time and money. If folks are going to travel around the world and spend more time taking pictures than enjoying the destination, what's the use, they may as well just wait for the future of holographic virtual reality technology and use Photoshop and apps to do the rest.
Now some might say this is cheating, however consider if you will that this next generation coming up cheats on everything. They cheat on tests at Harvard, they text message their friends while they're supposed to be working or driving a car, and 20% of the profiles on Facebook are fake. Go figure. Further, it would help the environment if they wouldn't waste the fuel to travel to all these places just to take a picture. In fact as someone who travels a lot, it's quite aggravating that every time you go somewhere everyone is posing in front of all of the landmarks. It almost makes it impossible for you to get a picture of yourself at a landmark - whoops, I blew my cover.
In essence, everyone is crowded into all the tourist traps, busy taking pictures, and no one is enjoying the moment. We can solve all that, and we can do it with an app. That's what I think we need to develop a selfie app for smart phones with instant Photoshopping to put whomever or whatever you want into the picture, this will save everyone else the aggravation and frustration, and save the environment from pollution, and this entire generation a lot of time. Please consider all this and think on it.
