Anything that is in the world when you’re born is normal and ordinary and is just a natural part of the 

way the world works. Anything that’s invented between when you’re fifteen and thirty­five is new and exciting and revolutionary and you can probably get a 

career in it. Anything invented after you’re thirty­five is against the natural order of things.

The Selfie

Was the selfie inevitable?

Selfiesthe most infamous in 90 seconds

“Sasha and Malia Obama take a selfie at dad Barack Obama's Presidential Inaugural Parade on January 21, 2013”

The earliest known photographic self-portrait was taken by Robert Cornelius in 1839

First teenage selfie?

Russian Grand Duchess Anastasia Nikolaevna at the age of 13 was one of the first teenagers to take her own picture using a mirror to send to a friend in 1914. In the letter that accompanied the photograph, she wrote, "I took this picture of myself looking at the mirror. It was very hard as my hands were trembling."

First “selfie” 2002

“Um, drunk at a mates 21st, I tripped over and landed lip first (with front teeth coming a very close second) on a set of steps. I had a hole about 1 cm long right through my bottom lip. And sorry about the focus, it was a selfie.” Nathan Hope (13 September 2002)
