Kodak
Camera
George Eastman invented the Kodak
camera in 1888 along with flexible new film that could be used to take 100
photos. This was a fairly large step in technology because you no longer had to
depend on a professional photographer to get photos. Anyone could just crank
and click to capture a memory. Unfortunately for Eastman there has already been
several patents pending for instant camera, while Eastman was the first to
actually manufacture one with working film, he lost out on the patent. However
he ended up buying twenty one patents that related to photography from David H
Houston.
This invention highly impacted the
way people viewed photos. Instead of having to go to a professional studio and
having to hold still as possible for it to work, someone could pull out a
camera and just click. These gave everyone the ability to save memories and
portraits of loved ones. This invention is what gave us the ability to show off
our family vacation photos and to give the family the ability to see the newest
additions to families.
