`
`Digital photography has proven to be one of the most worldchanging technological breakthroughs
`of the late 20th century. But the quest to capture and transmit images via electrons began nearly
`two centuries ago. Just a few years after Frenchman Nicéphore Niépce produced the first fixed
`photographic image in 1826 or 1827, another invention—longdistance digital telecommunication—
`arrived. And not long after Samuel F.B. Morse and Alfred Vail developed a viable electric telegraph
`and a binary code for conveying messages, inventors began to explore sending and recording
`images via dots and dashes.
`
`Piece by piece, the technologies that would make digital imaging possible fell into place. By 1860,
`you could send a kind of fax; in the early the 20th century, news organizations could transmit
`pictures as dot arrays. By mid20thcentury, videotape recording and the digital computer added
`other critical pieces; solidstate electronics and the microchip would shrink them to manageable
`size. By the 80s, “still video” cameras captured analog images via a semiconductor array invented
`at Bell Labs in 1969: the chargecoupled device, or CCD. Which brings us to the first of these, the
`most important digital cameras of all time—up until now, of course.

`
`Kodak engineer Steven Sasson started with “a white piece of paper” when, at age 25, he got the
`assignment to come up with an application for CCDs. He decided on a camera with no moving
`parts, recording in a digital format. Sasson and his team spent a year cobbling together this 8
`pound device, built around a new Fairchild Semiconductor 100x100pixel sensor. It took the first
`digital image, in black and white, in December 1975.
