On this day in 1948 The first Polaroid camera was sold in USA
A little bit of history about the Polaroid Instant Camera:
Polaroid Camera History starts back in 1937 when Edwin H. Land founded the Polaroid Corporation. On April 21, 1948, the 1st Polaroid camera was sold in the US. The company's original dominant market was polarized sunglasses.
By 1956, Polaroid had produced one million cameras. In 1976, Polaroid sues Kodak for copyright infringment over their instant cameras and goes on to eventually win the case.
In 1993, ninety-five Captiva Cameras are introduced by Polaroid.
I-Zone cameras are introduced in 1999.
Polaroid Corporation filed for Chapter 11 bankruptcy protection on October 11, 2001. A subsidiary of Bank One buys most of the assets. A new company was formed under the same name, "Polaroid Corporation". It stopped making Polaroid cameras in 2007, and this year they will stop selling Polaroid films.
In 1828, Noah Webster published the first American dictionary. The common British-English dictionary is the Oxford dictionary.
Some comparisons of American and British English include:
Latin-derived spellings
-our, -or
-re, -er
-ce, -se
-xion, -ction
Oh my goodness - I didn't even realize I had made the first page, much less the first post! Usually if I post on the DCT I am way, way, back - lost amongst discussions of lasagna for dinner and math equations!
Wow - thanks for all of the information on Polaroids! Incredible!
Being the English nerd that I am though, I'm more partial to the dictionary info
Congrats on first post cocoharry! Oh me too - we use the Queen's English (British English) and when I post on here, I sometimes post in American English - example - programme and program
