Experts try to solve mystery of oldest photo

[s4]

Read about the story of the oldest known photograph taken in 1826: http://www.cnn.com/2002/US/03/13/oldest.photo.ap/index.html


This story is interesting to me because I was going through some old photos of earlier generations of my family and found a picture that was dated 1883.

It's too bad the technology used in 1826 to take this photo wasn't more widespread. Can you imagine the historical events that could of been photographed in those early days of the 1800's?

Hell, we might have had camcorders for the first world war.

International arrogance and pride denying standarization and group development leads to cetrtain lapses in development speed sometimes... but fuels creativity nicely. Most people just don't have the vision to see the sheer importance or certain innovations.
