The Secret Digital Camera Kodak Didn’t Want the World to See.

He built the first digital camera in 1975 — and Kodak buried it to protect its own film business. This is the true story of Steve Sasson, the 24-year-old engineer who assembled the world's first digital camera from spare parts, only to be told "that's cute, but don't tell anyone about it." Kodak patented it, funded it, even sold digital cameras — and still filed for bankruptcy in 2012. This isn't a simple story about corporate blindness. It's about what happens when a company knows exactly what's coming and still can't choose the future over the present.
