Kodak's name will be remembered, not because of any major technical development, but because it was the first company to produce equipment that could be used by anyone.1888, Eastman "... photography available to everyone"(Kodak, 3).

Before Kodak, photographer had to be a chemist as well as artist. They were a pictures makers and after Kodak came on scene, photographers could easier to concentrate on the image, and leave preparation and development processes to others.

1884 it was introduced by Kodak, first portable camera, and the birth of snapshot photography.
1898 - With its vision of available photography to everyone at the lowest possible price, Kodak developed the Folding Pocket Kodak Camera. This is the father of modern roll-film cameras.
1963 - Kodak introduced the Instamatic camera. It became available for amateur photography, it was easy to use and affordable.

Kodak had bad times in film history too, as a digital came to industry. It wasn’t always a heaven, but for a giant company , it wasn’t the end of existence , just a second start in technology field.

Who knows, what would be without Kodak, would be photographers still a chemists same as artist, would they be carrying heavy cameras to take an image…Thanks for Kodak, there is no “would” .

The Eastman Kodak company has been servicing people all over the world. Today the company manufactures products in Canada, Mexico, Brazil, the United Kingdom, France, Germany, Australia, and of course the U.S.A. Still today the company upholds George Eastman's primary ideals:” mass production as low cost and a focus on the customer”.

Computer ?


Does Computer made our life worse or better, easier or harder,. I cant argue, that computer made our life more negative, or more positive , I guess it’s both . It doesn’t matter that we talk about, where are always minuses and pluses in all situation. I think this all depends on the user. One person could use it to create something good for his life, others can use it to 'waste' their time...
I had very interesting lecture about computers and after it, started to think how much do I need computer ? I do need it, sometimes I got frustrated , questioning myself, why I don’t live in middle ages, when where were no computers? But it’s a moment thing, then I realize that I need it
.I started to laugh inside myself, then Terry said “ If you don’t like technologies-computers, be a gardener “ .Funny , at my age 16, I was working as a gardener , saving some money to buy my first computer :D:D:D.

We can talk and talk about it and we wont see the end of discussion. What is good or that is bad. I am between two fires. Life is much easier , but we shouldn’t forget, that it is just a thing, it shouldn’t be replaced with real life. We can not change the world, but we should let the computers change our life. Work with it as a tool .Life is beautiful without it, but it can be even better if we will use it in a good way, knowing the limit. But overall, in my life I think that computers helped me positively...:)
