Although people tend to be afraid of shark attacks, the fear is not entirely justified and it most likely a result of movies fiction than being a witness of one.  In fact, in 2015, there have been twelve recorded selfie deaths in comparison to eight people dying because of shark attacks. Most of the selfie-related deaths have been due to falling. The next most common is when people are trying to take a selfie, and they're hit by a moving vehicle. In order to get a good shoot people risk more and more. Everyone wants to have an unique picture.  Some are crossing the line and in exchange for likes are taking the whole selfie thing a little too far.

We all know what Twitter is and most of us either used or uses it. We all associate the little blue bird in the logo but does everyone know that it has a name? Cause it has and its name is Larry. The little guy may have been named after former NBA player, Larry Bird, who played for Twitter co-founder Biz Stone’s home-state team, the Boston Celtics. Larry’s name was confirmed by Twitter in a tweet made in 2011. Moreover the social networking company’s former creative director, Doug Bowman, said in a 2012 announcement that Larry is resembling a mountain bluebird with a dash of hummingbird thrown in and that the Twitter bird has a beak and body that point toward the sky in what Bowman called “the ultimate representation of freedom, hope and limitless possibility.”
