selfie stick
A selfie stick is a monopod used to take selfie photographs by positioning a smartphone or camera beyond the normal range of the arm. The metal sticks are typically extendable, with a handle on one end and an adjustable clamp on the other end to hold a phone in place. Some have remote or Bluetooth controls, letting the user decide when to take the picture,〔 and models designed for cameras have a mirror behind the viewscreen so that the shot can be lined up. In contrast to a monopod for stabilising a camera on the ground, a selfie stick's arm is thickest and strongest at the opposite end from the camera in order to provide better grip and balance when held aloft. Safety concerns and the inconvenience the product causes to others has resulted in their being banned at many venues, including all Disney Parks.
==History==
Homemade selfie sticks could date back as early as 1925. A photo from that year shows a man taking a photograph of himself and his wife, with the aid of a long pole which is pointed towards the camera and out of frame. Amateur box cameras of the period would not have been able to capture a self-portrait in focus when held at arm's length, requiring photographers to use remote shutter devices such as cables or sticks.
The 1983 "Minolta Disc-7" camera had a convex mirror on its front to allow the composition of self-portraits, and its packaging showed the camera mounted on a stick while used for such a purpose.〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=MINOLTA DISC-7 CAMERA, 1983 )〕 A "telescopic extender" for compact handheld cameras was patented in U.S. in 1983, and a Japanese selfie stick was featured in a 1995 book of "101 Un-Useless Japanese Inventions".〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=Turns Out Japan Invented The 'Selfie-Stick' 20 Years Ago )〕 Canadian inventor Wayne Fromm patented his ''Quik Pod'' in 2005 and becoming commercially available in the United States the following year. Notwithstanding positive reviews for the ''Quik Pod'' over the next few years in mainstream press,〔 the term "selfie stick" itself did not become widely used until 2014.
The selfie stick was listed in ''Time'' magazine's 25 best inventions of 2014. The selfie stick has been criticized for its association with the perceived narcissism and self-absorption of contemporary society, with commentators in 2015 dubbing the tool the "Narcisstick" or "Wand of Narcissus".
