Steve Sasson

Steve Sasson is an American engineer and inventor best known for creating the first digital camera while working at Kodak in 1975. His groundbreaking invention, which was initially ignored by Kodak's management due to its potential to disrupt the film market, foreshadowed the digital revolution in photography. Despite being a pioneer in digital imaging technology, Kodak's failure to adapt ultimately led to the company's bankruptcy in 2012, serving as a cautionary tale about innovation and corporate inertia.
