从2002年澳大利亚人卡尔博士第一次提出“自拍”概念之后，经过十多年的发展，从一次性相机到智能手机，自拍像个精灵似的一直伴随在人们的左右，为人们的生活带来了无限的快乐和刺激。
The earliest usage of the word selfie can be traced as far back as in 2002. It first appeared in Karl Kruszelnicki's 'Dr Karl Self-Serve Science Forum', an Australian internet forum（论坛）on 13 September, 2002.
最早使用“自拍”一词可以追溯到2002年。该词在2002年9月13日卡尔·库载尼基的“卡尔博士的自拍服务科学论坛”中出现过，该论坛是澳大利亚互联网论坛)。
The concept of uploading group self-taken photographs to the Internet, although with a disposable camera and not a smartphone, dates to a webpage created by Australians in September 2001, including photos taken in the late 1990s.
将自拍照片分组上传到互联网的概念，可以追溯至2001年9月一位澳大利亚人创立的网页，但当时使用的是一次性相机而非智能手机。那些照片中还包括了1990年代晚期拍的照片。
The term "selfie" was discussed by photographer Jim Krause in 2005, although photos in the selfie genre were earlier than the widespread use of the term. In the early 2000s, before Facebook became the dominant online social network, self-taken photographs were particularly common on MySpace. Between 2006 and 2009, the "MySpace pic" became an indication of bad taste for users of the newer Facebook social network. With improvements in design—especially the front-facing camera of the iPhone 4 (2010), mobile photo apps led to the regrowth of selfies in the early 2010s.
2005年，摄影师吉姆克劳斯曾经讨论过“自拍”一词，但是自拍样式的照片比该词的流行要早。在2000年代初期，脸谱网成为主流的在线社交网络之前，自拍就已经在“我的空间”网上很普遍了。在2006年与2009年间，“我的空间图片”成了新兴的脸谱网用户的低级趣味的标志。但是，随着自拍照片样式的优化，尤其是苹果4 前置摄像技术的使用，手机照相应用软件使得自拍在2010年代初期再一次火爆起来。
Initially popular with young people, selfies gained wider popularity over time. By the end of 2012, Time magazine considered selfie one of the "top 10 buzzwords" of that year; although selfies had existed long before, it was in 2012 that the term "really hit the big time". According to a 2013 survey, two-thirds of Australian women aged 18–35 take selfies—the most common purpose for which is posting on Facebook. A poll conducted by smartphone and camera maker Samsung found that selfies make up 30% of the photos taken by people aged 18–24. In November 2013, the word "selfie" was announced as being the "word of the year" by the Oxford English Dictionary , which gave the word itself an Australian origin.
自拍一开始的时候很受年轻人的青睐，但随着时间的推移，越来越多的人喜欢自拍。2012年年底，《时代》杂志评选“自拍”为“年度十大流行词”；尽管自拍一词已经早就存在，但在2012年这个词才“真正地大获成功”。根据一项2013年的调查，有三分之二的18到35岁的澳大利亚女性自拍—最主要的目的是在脸谱网上贴出自己的照片。智能手机和照相机生产商三星的民意调查发现，18到24岁之间的人拍的照片作品中自拍照占30%。2013年11月，《牛津英语词典》宣布，“自拍”被评为“年度流行词”，并认为该词源于澳大利亚。
