Welcome to Tech Story, the podcast that uncovers the fascinating journeys behind the technologies that shape our world. In each episode, we dive deep into the innovations, breakthroughs, and sometimes, the surprising failures that define the digital age.
Join us as we explore how a bulky 8-pound prototype, developed by Kodak engineer Steven Sasson in 1975, evolved into the powerful, pocket-sized cameras in today's smartphones. Discover the revolutionary charged-couple device (CCD) sensor that replaced film in cameras and the pivotal moments when companies like Sony, Canon, and even Apple stepped into the digital photography arena with devices like the Mavica and QuickTake.
We'll unpack the ironic tale of Kodak, the very inventor of digital photography, which famously struggled to embrace this disruptive technology despite early warnings and internal breakthroughs like the megapixel camera in 1986. Learn about their strategic blunders, including focusing on improving film with digital features and the costly Advantix flop.
From the first true digital camera built for photographing auroras in 1981 to the advent of the camera phone that transformed everyone into a photographer, 'Tech Story' brings you the human drama and technical genius behind our most essential gadgets. Tune in to understand the past, appreciate the present, and anticipate the future of technology!
