It was a small step for mankind to go from self-love to selfie-love.
With its eyes prised wide by the sight of a camera on a phone, humanity suddenly realized it could not only record itself, but send the evidence to everyone who wasn’t interested.
In the end, though, selfies were all about you. Until now. For along has come a company called TicketLeap to introduce a radical use for the selfie.
It’s called the Selfie Ticket. And its purpose is to replace the QR code on event tickets with an image of you.
Yes, now beauty can be in the eye of the ticket holder.
I confess I saw no obvious advantage in seeing my own image instead of a QR code. So I asked TicketLeap’s CEO Tim Raybould to explain himself(ie).
“Don’t picture getting into a Yankees game,” he began. Why would I picture that? Going to see the Yankees is like having a crown inserted without laughing gas, while seated on a pin cushion.
He continued: “Picture going to a 50-person smoked-BBQ event hosted by your favorite local brewery. That brewery is throwing the event to make a connection with the event goers.”
Oh, so it’s all about the connection thing? It’s that modern, social networking, we-all-love-each other-really thing? Indeed it is.
