1989

Invention of first digital camera. No more dealing with loading films!

 

Prior to 1989 the world used the simple yet complicated camera. Though easy to use, loading and rewinding the film was always a problem (prior to automatic rewinding), not to mention problems with over exposure, under-exposure, and the expense of film and development! With the invention of the digital camera, pictures could then be stored on memory cards and erased as pleased. No more loading the too-long-stretch of film and no more dropping off and picking up photos at the shop. At one snap, pictures could be seen instantaneously and loaded onto a computer to be shared with others. Though still very expensive, the cameras are worth every penny

2010

Digital Cameras replaced by business size cards!

 

Digital cameras, having made its first appearance in 1989 and booming in sales in 2000, many thought that it could not get any smaller than they have made it in 2003. We thought pocket size digital cameras were small! As of last month the newest technology in the digital world is the business card sized and weight digital camera with a sensor button in the front for picture taking, and voice activated zoom. Light as a feather, the previously used MMC cards are replaced by a thread-thin piece of wire that holds 500 MB of memory...talk about efficiency!
