Sejarah Legendaris Kodak Yang Sekarang Bangkrut

Sejarah datang dan pergi, begitu juga perusahaan baru muncul dan berkembang sementara yang tua harus berjuang atau ditinggalkan konsumen, namun bagaimana bila perusahaan legendaris yang harus tutup toko tersebut adalah sang legenda Kodak? Dulu waktu kecil penulis ingat saat-saat memakai kamera manual dan saat mengganti film yang teringat adalah Kodak. Namun sekarang kita tidak akan menemui merek Kodak lagi karena sekarang Kodak telah dinyatakan bangkrut. Sebagai perpisahan kami mengetngahkan sejarah dari Kodak.
American inventor George Eastman patented photographic film stored in a roll in 1884. Four years later he had perfected the first camera to take advantage of his invention. He founded Kodak in 1892. The meaningless name was chosen because it was impossible to mispronounce and was disimilar to any existing words.

Semua berawal dari George Eastman yang mematenkan penyimpanan film fotografik
dalam sebuah roll atau gulungan. Empat tahun kemudian dia menyempurnakan kamera buatannya
dan mendirikan Kodak tahun 1892. Alasan dia menamakan Kodak karena nama ini tidak
mungkin salah diucapkan dan tidak bermakna apapun
hmmm mungkin anda musti jalan-jalan ke Indonesia Sir mencicipi Swike Kodak ups Swike Kodok kami.
