#himsselfie was cute (but HIMSS 2015 should be its last year)

The #himsselfie collection was pretty nice again this year. But I’ve got a feeling that if HIMSS did selfies again in 2016 it would be pretty OMG so lame. So let’s use HIMSS 2015 to say farewell to #himsselfie.

#himsselfie was totes adorbs again at HIMSS 2015 – much like it was last year. It’s a great, expressive way to celebrate the community of HIMSS.

But the selfie is trending down – even at HIMSS. The marketers are taking over. There’s a general selfie backlash. And there’s increasing clinical evidence men should not selfie.

Plus, some of these are not selfies.

Healthcare is always a few years behind the trends – or so the story goes. So let’s change that, and celebrate the selfies of HIMSS 2015 as a farewell tour.

And if you do decide to take selfies at HIMSS 2016, may this song never leave your head.
