Selfie sticks are a product of the mobile Internet era.

I believe most people in 2012 did not even hear of the mobile Internet, let alone fantasize about being able to call a taxi at any time at that moment, and see how many taxis are nearby and how far away we are. It's only been 2-3 years and it's all happening. The mobile Internet has destroyed the world and permeated every aspect of every person's life.

There is no doubt that the mobile Internet is going to change the human way of life in a completely positive way.

As a mobile Internet, its hardware is mainly concentrated on smart phones and wearable devices. For the interaction between people and smart phones, it is necessary to input data, and the input method is mainly LBS(location based service) based on location services, such as didi taxi, etc. What he needs is GPS positioning system. Acoustic wave, such as alipay pay in person; Scan codes, such as bar codes and qr codes. Scan the code, rely on the camera.

It is foreseeable that in the near future, the camera of the device will model everything that can be photographed in 3D, making every object as simple to identify as the two-dimensional code or bar code. By then, the mobile Internet will be very afraid to change our daily habits. For example, take the child to play wild, see a new plant, studious children will always ask: mother, what is this. All you need to do is pull out your phone, point it at the plant, and the phone automatically recognizes it, instantly revealing everything about the plant. For example, if you see a girl's bag is very beautiful on the street, you only need to take a picture, and the phone will find the bag with the same style for you, and all the information including the price, brand, raw materials, shopping platform, payment method, when it can be delivered, and so on.

It doesn't seem to have much to do with selfie sticks, but it doesn't.

Since the camera is the main import of mobile Internet, major mobile phone manufacturers must spend a lot of money on polishing the camera's photography function, later data processing, 3D modeling and other aspects. In my opinion, the iphone 6's improvements to the front-facing camera have completely fueled the popularity of selfie sticks.
