Selfie Stick Banishment

Selfies seem to have become the most popular form of photography. When I first heard about the selfie stick, I had to snicker a little. It was one of the moments where you think "Why would someone invent that?". It's 2015 and the best we can offer is a stick that assists in taking selfies? Where are the flying cars?

However, I must say that after seeing it's use, I can see the appeal. Why wouldn't we want a stick to extend our selfies? Selfie sticks are incredibly useful for group photos. Now, somebody doesn't have to be left out of the picture because there isn't enough space. Nobody's body parts have to get cut off simply because their arms aren't long enough.

The selfie stick may sound ridiculous and completely unnecessary, but in reality, it is a quite useful invention. What's even more ridiculous is how big of a deal people are making it. Businesses who are calling it a "safety hazard". I honestly cannot think of how taking a selfie using a stick could pose as a safety concern. The video was completely over exaggerated, and I think the banning of selfie stick is unnecessary.
