The Telegraph reports so-called "selfies", where the photographer takes photos of themselves by holding their camera at arm’s length, have become the most popular image captured by young people.
They now account for 30 per cent of pictures taken by those aged 18-24,adds The Telegraph, with men taking more photos of themselves than women, according to the poll.
Consequently, notes The Telegraph, two-thirds of Britons now eschew displaying their photos in old-fashioned albums and prefer to catalog their pictures on computers, tablets or smartphones instead.
Just a third of those questioned said they still displayed images using an old-fashioned book, while 53 per cent claimed they preferred to use Facebook and only 13 per cent of 18 to 24-year-olds said they had ever used an album, concludes The Telegraph.
