Dear Hipster:
I went ice skating a little while ago, and this group of teenagers had a selfie stick that they were using to take pictures of themselves not skating (because they were too busy looking at the selfies). I didnβt really know about them (selfie sticks, not teenagers) until then, but I did some googling, and Iβve since read that the selfie stick is one of the most popular gadgets in the world, and that it even made its way onto Timeβs list of the 25 best inventions of 2014! Personally, I think the nail polish that detects date rape drugs is a way more important invention, but what do I know? So, anyways, βselfieβ was the Oxford dictionaryβs word of the year in 2013. The American Dialect Society has its annual meeting in Portland βHipster Capital of the Universeβ Oregon the week of January 8th. Do you think βselfie stickβ stands a chance for 2014?
β Kim, Del Mar
Nope.
For what itβs worth, Undercover Colors has yet to introduce a prototype product, so it wasnβt technically invented in 2014, only conceptualized. #truthbomb!
