The (Misunderstood) Fall of Kodak | It Wasn't Because of Digital Cameras | History in the Dark

The Eastman Kodak Company, generally just called Kodak, used to be the dominant force in the personal camera and film markets. Starting small all the way back in the late 1800's, they soared to great heights to become the dominant corporation in their field. While many believe that their fall was due to their refusal to adopt digital camera technology, this is incorrect. They did embrace it when it matured and were the number one in that field in 2005. But a series of other mistakes and a rapidly shifting market led to their decline, but contrary to popular belief they are still in business as of 2024.
