This is a wonderful video profile of Steven Sasson, inventor of the digital camera, by David Friedman. It’s amazing to see how far we have come in terms of technology. The first digital camera could hold 30 images, a decision of Sasson, not a technical limitation. In the video he talks about why he chose the arbitrary number. It is also important to note that on November 17, 2010, President Barack Obama awarded Sasson the National Medal of Technology and Innovation.

Friedman has an entire video series of inventors. Its fascinating to see the the birth of different products. Check his blog out for the entire series.
