How the First Digital Camera Was Invented at Kodak

from Tech History with Fexingo: Stories of Silicon Valley, Pioneers, and Industry Origins · host Fexingo

In 1975, an engineer at Kodak named Steven Sasson built a device that would eventually make film obsolete—a digital camera. This episode tells the story of how that prototype came to be, why Kodak didn't pursue it, and what it means for innovation in large companies. We also look at the camera's specs: 0.01 megapixels, a cassette player for storage, and a 23-second black-and-white image. And we ask the question: what did Kodak see, and why didn't they act? #DigitalCamera #StevenSasson #Kodak #Innovation #TechnologyHistory #Disruption #TechHistory #BusinessStrategy #Invention #Photography #TechPodcast #SiliconValley #FexingoBusiness #BusinessPodcast #Technology #TechStories #InnovationStory #Camera Keep every episode free: buymeacoffee.com/fexingo
