No, in this case it is just a matter of longer instants, nothing to do with
looking forward to something - like getting prints back from processing.

On the other hand you might claim that Polaroid was 'more instant' than
digital in that, for good or ill, the Polaroid print represented the complete
job whereas the digital image on the screen of the modern camera is just a step
along the way to the photoshop - or other post processor.
