Half of all Britons are now posting photos online with a week of taking them with one in ten uploading images within seconds, leading to the death of the traditional photo album.

According to a survey commissioned by Samsung two thirds of Brits are now contented with displaying photos online rather than collating them in a photo album.

Sites such as Twitter, Facebook and Instagram are being blamed for the downfall of the traditional albums with one in five of us now taking pictures with our social media status in mind.

Selfies (arms-length self-portraits) were also found to be the most popular type of photo for 18-24 year olds.
