Kodak Invented the Digital Camera then Went Bankrupt

Description:

Did you know Kodak is STILL a billion-dollar company? This is the most overwhelming camera history video we have made. Kodak's founder, George Eastman, was interesting, brilliant, and strange enough to have an entire podcast dedicated to him. Did you know he was related to Emily Dickinson and the Colgate toothpaste people? Did you know he tried photography exactly once before realizing he wanted to improve the process? Kodak started with dry plates, evolved to offer film (and cameras to sell that film), became a monopoly, invented the digital camera, and then went BANKRUPT! WHY? Was it Kodak's fault? Could things have been different? Tony and I dug through entirely too much information, talked too long, had margaritas, and tried to sum it all up in an hour. There were too many bits of information so here are our Sources and Citations: https://docs.google.com/document/d/14UqtdRIJkVTcLX-_NrMOtbMrLId06j5Yt6ghse5yJJk/edit?usp=sharing
