A
Even if you’re not among the 95% of millennials (千禧一代) that take selfies (自拍), you know that selfie is the ruling king of amateur photography. According to a wave of recent reporting, the prevalence (盛行) of selfies is unbelievable: the average millennial will take 25,700 in their lifetime; it is claimed that females aged 16 to 25 spend five hours taking selfies per week, and on average, 93 million selfies are taken worldwide each day.
But perhaps the most shocking statistic involves a far smaller number: 49. That’s the number of people that have died taking a selfie since just 2014.
People dying while attempting to snap the perfect photo of themselves isn’t new or breaking news, of course. Statistics have figured out that there were more deaths by selfie than deaths by shark attack in the year 2015.
Digital Trends found that 30 percent of all photos 18-to-24-year-olds take are selfies. And while women generally take more selfies than men—61.6 percent of selfies taken in New York City featured a woman, men tend to be much rasher.
