Much better.

So the selfie had a couple really big years.

Last year the Oxford English Dictionary called " selfie " the word of the year.

President Obama has found himself in two selfie controversies.

One in a selfie at Nelson Mandela 's funeral.

The other sponsored by Samsung.

Ellen DeGeneres had a huge selfie moment

when she got all her Hollywood buddies at the Oscars.

And every other selfie somehow involves Kim Kardashian 's butt.

Now, where older generations might lament the explosion of selfie culture,

I'm actually not surprised and also kind of optimistic about where this is all going.

If you think about it, Millennials grew up at a time where they saw the government

lead us into a housing boom and bust, lead us into two really expensive wars,

saw an economy collapse.

They saw the government try and so far fail to deliver a really good health care system.

In contrast, they 've seen their heroes, young kids like Mark Zuckerberg and Sergey Brin

who have found ways to solve problems on their own.

Why would a Millennial say, " Can you take my picture for me?"

when they know they can take their own picture better than anyone in the history of time?

You know what?

That's the Millennial attitude and I'm okay with it.
