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?
Selfies
the 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."
Ilse Bing Self Portrait with Leica 1931
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)
