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

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!
