A PICTURE IS WORTH A THOUSAND WORDS
|
A PICTURE IS WORTH A THOUSAND WORDS A PICTURE IS WORTH A THOUSAND WORDS Back in the dark ages.... in 1974... a man named Steve Sasson, worked in the Research Laboratory of the Eastman Kodak Company. Mr Steve Sasson was asked by his superiors to concentrate on something the people working in the Kodak Research Laboratory loosely named "The Charge-Coupled" thing. Within a year of Steve's messing with the device, the first DIGITAL CAMERA was created, and Eastman Kadak was on it's way to BANKRUPTCY!!. Kodak's big bucks came from the sale and development of FILM. We all know FILM soon went the way of the and buggy after The Ford Motor Company came out with the MODEL T FORD. The same thing happened to FILM, after Digital Cameras sprang up from seemingly every company able to produce THEM. Eastman Kodak for some reason, WASN'T able to develop the digital camera or make a profit from it, but other companies soon did. THIS blog post happenS to spring from the tips of my typing fingers this morning, because a couple of days ago I sent off a package by way of the U.S. Snail Mail,(SORRY CATHY --if you happen to read this)...The Snail Mail package contained old, mostly black and white photographs that I'd been given many years ago by my mother. I mailed these old pictures to one of my nieces in Connecticut. In some cases the pictures were 100 years old.--- My niece, seems to have developed into our family's historian. Anyway, mailing that package of old pictures got me interested in how the Digital Camera got started. Digital camera's certainly changed the way I, among millions of other people, do things today. Digital Camera's probably changed the way you also do things. The combination of the Digital Camera, the home computer, and the Smart Phone, have changed the world of photography into something that in 1974 would have been considered Science Fiction. On the computer I'm using to write this post, there are over 5000 digital pictures stored in the photo gallery, and also a number of video clips. Many people I know--including my niece in Connecticut-- are insistent on printing out their pictures on photo paper, but I'm not one of those. As long as I have the pictures on the computer or in some web site's "cloud" and I'm pretty sure there are backups of the pictures available on an external harddrive and on a DVD, I'm happy to keep the pictures in digital form and look at them from time to time on the monitor. I'm not really one of those people who goes over old pictures with reverence and almost a religious gleam in my eyes. How about you? Are you happy the digital camera came alone when it did? Do you snap a lot of pictures? How about with your cell phone? Do you snap a lot of pictures with your cell and send them off to friends and relatives? Do you take "selfies a lot?" What about video clips of yourself and your family? Do you feel the need to have the pictures printed out, or are you content to let the pictures remain in digital form? by david stardust...Sunday morning, July 6th, 2014....   |

I was happy to give all my old pictures to Patty Ann, (my niece). She can do what she wants with them.... If at some point, all the 5000 or so pictures I have on my computer get lost, it wouldn't completely ruin me, but it would be a loss, so I have a good Western Digital backup hard drive, and also put a lot of pictures in the AOL's cloud. I don't think you're so unusual. I know a lot of people who don't have much interest in pictures. They normally live busy lives, and don't have time to sit and look at things representing their pasts.

I take a lot more pictures now that I don't have to pay for processing etc. I do print out an occasional picture but am happy to let most sit on the computer. No doubt Kodak rightly saw digital as cutting into their core business and did not want to compete with themselves. RCA did the same with transistor radios and TV vs tubes. Both slit their own throats. I'm like you, now that I don't have to go to all the expense and bother of having film developed, I snap a lot of pictures. If I lived in a different climate where it didn't get so hot during the summers, I would carry a good digital camera in my cars all the time..but I don't do that here because if I once left a digital in the car out here in the summer, it would be fried. Thank you for your good comments, Justskin..

Yeah! I really want to get hold of a 3D printer! It's just a matter of time before their prices drop so they become affordable to us guys.. Did you see the movie A.I. (standing for Artificial Intelligence?).. That movie covered the concept of good looking robots satisfying the sexual desires of humans.. In reality, the Japanese have always been interested in this thing...creating robots that are very lifelike.. It seems far out, but in reality, if we humans don't kill ourselves off first, it will happen where all us guys can have sex anytime, anyplace, and with any form of artificial intelligence we desire..
