Japan has put "selfie stands" at popular destinations

The selfie has come out of nowhere like a narcassistic whirlwind and become one of the most popular things we can do with our smartphones. Don't believe us? Sony has gone so far as to release a handset dedicated to taking selfies.

And now, over in Japan there are even dedicated selfie stands at popular locations allowing you to snap yourself for social media bragging rights. The stands feature a special slot where you can keep your smartphone secured for the duration of the selfie and are expertly positioned to take in the majesty of the surrounding scenerey.

It's also an excellent hangout spot for snatch-and-run thieves, but that's probably just us being cynical. We've not heard any news regarding UK-specific selfie stands but who knows, this could be the future of holiday photography.
