The very
first forms of photography date back to the early 19th century when
America's history was captured on film during the Civil War. Since
then many advancements have been made in the world of photography.
One of the newest advancements in the field was the birth of digital
photography. In 1963 when a student at Stanford University invented
a videodisk camera that could take a photograph and store the image
on a disk for several minutes this would be the precursor to digital
photography. With this new form of taking photographs digitally
and storing the image to a disk, photography would become less time
consuming and a whole new chapter would open to future photographers.
In the mid 70s Kodak began to work on filmless technologies. In
the mid 80s with the release of the compact disc digital technology
was vastly increasing. By 1990 the first digital camera hit shelves
for commercial sales. These would be the first steps into a new
digital world, and pave the way for many things to come.
