Indeed interesting. The article had the benefit of hindsight. It is how development goes. Had it not been there by Kodak then it would have happened somewhere else. The CCD chip was already there. Who could tell what to expect from images of 100x100 pixels. And of course it would eat away from the film-based industry.
Kodak has remained at the front of development for a long time and Kodak SLR camera were the best for a long time. I still have a DCS14n full frame 35mm SLR. Takes all F-lenses

The market was lost due to the high-speed of models coming and going in the consumersegment. Being American based and a too oversized administration didn't help either.
Apple mainly remains on to due to foreign creative workers and an outsourced production where key parts are even bought from the main competitio. This will not either though, I think.

I was scanning some family tin-types from the 1800's last week. I thought to myself, what if these were digital files from the 1800's? How would I transfer them? How crappy would the information be? I can scan these and get decent images out of them over 100 years later.

I have a closet full of Super 8 and 16mm movies I've taken since 2003 or so. I have great scans of them, but the modern Vision stocks will last for at least another 150 years; not sure if the scan data will be good then. But if the film is taken care of it can be rescanned as many times as needed.
