I remember my parents using Kodak to print out their photos. We had a Kodak shop in our town and I remember it's yellow and red colour scheme well. I also remember it being quite up to date on the printing side of things.
Apparently I was wrong.
Kodak has filed for bankruptcy or whatever because their company went down the toilet.
I also remember the Kodak adverts, as far as companies go, I was quite fond of Kodak. But the name had slowly been disappearing lately and it was only when the bankruptcy was mentioned in a lecture that I actually noticed I hadn't heard the name Kodak for a while.
I did some research... I know what you're thinking. "Ryan you're a lazy *******, you don't do research!"
Well, person in my head, you are wrong, I googled it and everything.
Kodak start failing because it specialised in developing film, the business took somewhat of a nose drive when Mr. Digital came along.
Anyone else remember the phrase: Kodak Moment?
Well this is going to be their last one!
No idea why I'm getting all sentimental over a business I never used, I really have no idea what their problem was, if Jessops can make it why couldn't Kodak?
I read that Kodak was one of the companies that pioneered the creation of the digital camera and to be taken down by it is a bad case of irony.
Well that's all I have to report and further proof that I did my homework on this is that Mr. Kodak himself (a self proclaimed 'not special' high school drop-out) killed himself in 1932.
I wonder if he tried to frame somebody...
How's that for a snappy ending.
