        @neiltyson I remember this. Taking a picture was something you put some thought into, because you didn't want to waste your film #noselfies

        @neiltyson #WhenIWasYourAge a selfie would have been a waste of film and processing and cost you your camera privileges.

        @neiltyson That's right! My kid wanted a camera. We made a pinhole. He has to wait days to see his photos. I think it's great!
