A man named Steven Sasson was working for Eastman Kodak when he invented the world's first digital camera in 1975. At the time, it weighed eight pounds and took 0.01MP photos which were stored on delicate cassettes. We've come quite a long way, considering we can now save thousands of pictures on memory cards that are smaller than your fingernails.
The first digital photo ever taken was in 1975, and it was of a lab technician named Joy. The picture wasn't saved for keepsake purposes, unfortunately. Kodak did not see eye to eye with Steven about the future of digital images. But no-one could blame the company for their doubt as the world was not yet ready for such an invention. At the time, there was no internet, no cellphones, and the majority of TVs were still black and white.
