Outcome
Selfies are important for self representation, but also for participation.
Selfies are just fun, but also important factors in order to create identity.
Selfies are one critical aspect of a trend in the whole society, that concerns individualism and self presentation.
The trend of "more friends are better" seems to be broken; among young people, strong-tie relations are gaining in importance.
