The Invention of the Camera - Blog #6


    In 1816 the first photograph came to life. The camera was invented by Niepce and the first photograph that was taken was on silver chloride-lined paper. In 1021, the camera obscura was invented. In 1685, the first portable camera was invented and this was considered to be one of the most monumental moments in camera history because it made it easier to capture more moments in life through photographs. In 1888, one of the biggest camera companies, Kodak, sold their first commercial camera, which helped make their mark on the world. Sales went through the roof because everyone wanted a camera. The camera had many positive impacts on the world which include the art of photography and film, it helped further communication through video chatting, it helped with the development of social media, and streaming services. Although there were many positives, there were also a few negatives such as lack of privacy due to the cameras being pretty much everywhere. The camera allows people to take pictures of anything and with the use of social media, the two go hand in hand causing less privacy among society. Overall, I believe that the camera was one of the greatest inventions of all time because it serves so many purposes that help grow and improve our society today, and not to mention the many memories that are captured that will be saved for a lifetime.
