How social media can affect on languages, relations, and daily-life which result loss of privacy, and the creation of artificial personalities. I collected 33 participants to involve in the survey. There are 18.2% of participants are women and 81.8% are men. 60.6% participants are between 25-34 years old only 3% of them don’t have smart phone. The average of hours that spend daily on phones are 4-6 hours. 30.1 % of participants spend their time on social media such as Facebook, twitter, and Instagram while 18.1% of them spend their time on taking photos and share it using social media. Moreover 63.6 % of them share approximately 1-5 photos daily using social media. The average of photos that in participants’ phone are 3000 pictures while the average of selfie that in participants’ phone are 200 pictures because 42.4% of them don’t like take selfie.
The study shows that there is a positive relationship between number of photos on the phone and posting photos on social media daily which means when the number of photos increase, the posting times on social media will increase. Also, the study shows that there is negative relationship between the ages and number of photos and hours that spend on the phones. Which means when the individual become older, he/she will spend less on the phones and doesn’t take pictures frequently.
Taking selfies has become an addiction, all thanks to the social media which plays a major role in our selfie-obsessed culture. According to research, over 17 million selfies are uploaded every week on social media, and we continue to upload and share all day. Isn’t it true?

SELFIE ACCIDENTS & DEATHS:
Forbes reports, "The cultural phenomenon of the ‘selfie’ exposes a very basic human desire to feel noticed, appreciated and recognized." Dr. Judy Ho, a licensed clinical psychologist and professor at Pepperdine University, says selfies promote a self-centered mentality. "People have become very self-focused as a way to build self-esteem," she explains. "They take selfies then edit them, and make them look as flawless as possible as a way to project how they feel, or want to feel, about themselves."
One may wonder how something so simple as taking a picture or video of yourself could cause any harm. Let’s start out with some of the obvious ways. In 2014 - 2015, there were numerous reports of deaths caused by people taking selfies while doing something ridiculous. Here are just a few of them:
A 29-year-old pilot at the controls of the Cessna 150, took off on a night flight with 6 miles of visibility, in Watkins, Colorado. The Cessna reached an altitude of 740 feet agl before making a sharp turn, descending at 1,900 feet per minute and crashing into a field, killing the pilot and his passenger. NTSB investigators say video evidence of an earlier flight showed that the pilot and passenger were "taking self-photographs with their cell phones and, during the night flight, using the camera's flash function.
