Young people love to take selfies and don’t really care about printing photos and putting them in albums. That might not be the biggest shocker of the year, but a new British survey at least puts some numbers to this amateur photography trend that’s leaving us with a lot fewer prints and a lot more digital clutter.
The poll, commissioned by Samsung, asked 3,000 young adults about their photo habits, and the biggest finding was that a full 30% of the photos taken by people age 18-24 are selfies, with men more likely than women to turn the camera on themselves.
So selfies are affecting the family photo album. This doesn't come as a shocker but it does mark a low point in the printed photo realm. Hopefully photo albums will make a come back and those classics will have a place to stay.
