No Paris Hilton, you did not invent the selfie
"11 years ago today, Me & Britney invented the selfie!" wrote Paris Hilton on Twitter on Sunday, posting two pictures of the pair from 2006. Fake news! Neither Paris nor Britney were anywhere near the invention of the selfie.
The oldest existing photo selfie is thought to be by 30-year-old Robert Cornelius, who took it outside his lamp shop in Philadelphia.Technology of the day meant that he would have had to stand still for up to 15 minutes in order to get the shot.
