Question

Have you ever taken photos by using mobile phones with selfie sticks(自拍桿)? This new invention is a small, useful and cleverly-designed tool.

　However, a pair of US artists from New Mexico, Arie Snee and Justin Crowe believe they have invented a better one and they call it “selfie arm”. For better or worse, they have taken the world by storm. It makes those people in the pictures seem to be holding hands with a loved one.

　The pair say it offers a far better experience than using a straight stick. The selfie arm makes people feel they are not alone when they take photos. It seems that they are together with their friends. They think their invention solves the main problem that the selfie stick has —people look alone while they are taking pictures of themselves with great interests. The product, at present, just an art project and a model, conveniently provides you a welcoming arm. And better yet in the future, it’ll talk in a friendly way and never get angry or upset. The pair say they are fascinated by these new ideas.

The “selfie arm” is made of fiberglass(玻璃纖維). It is lightweight and easy-taking.

The project that they work on shows the growing selfie stick phenomenon(現(xiàn)象) directly and the increasing need for narcissism(自戀) and Internet agreement.
