15 The first discovery of a Changing World
1. World's First Digital Camera (1975): Work Kodak engineer Steve Sasson
In December 1975, Kodak engineer Steve Sasson created something that will revolutionize photography: the world's first digital camera. That is about the size of a toaster, and captured images of black and white at a resolution of 100 × 100 - or 0.01 megapixels in terms of marketing.Images are stored on tape, took 23 seconds to write. The camera uses an ADC from Motorola, Kodak film from the camera lens and a CCD chip from Fairchild Semiconductor - the same technology that digital cameras are still used today. To playback images, a special computer and tape reader setup (pictured below) was built, outputting the grainy images on a standard TV. It took over 23 seconds to read each image from tape.2. World's First Motel (1925): Motel Inn
Motel Inn in San Luis Obispo, California, is the world's first motel. Built in 1925 by LA architect Arthur Heineman, who coined the term motel meaning "motor hotel."

In 1895 Wilhelm Conrad Rntgen, Wurburg University physics professor in Germany, was doing experiments with electrical discharges in evacuated glass tubes. Late in 1895 Wilhelm Rntgen alone at night, running the experiment, this time in the dark and see the light produced in the wall, which he knew was not caused by fluorescent lights. He named, the rays 'X' or if you prefer; X-ray. After several months of playing with this discovery, he saw that the place of objects in the path of light can produce shadows and creating drawings on the wall. Soon after he used a plate and photographed his wife, Frau Rntgen, putting his hand in the path of the X-ray, and created the first X-ray image in the world.

In November 1971, a company called Intel introduced the first single chip microprocessor, Intel 4004 (U.S. Patent # 3,821,715), invented by Intel engineers Federico Faggin, Ted Hoff and Stan Mazor. After the invention of integrated circuits is that later revolutionized computer design. 4004 Intel makes integrated circuits go one step further by putting all the pieces that make the computer think (ie central processing unit, memory, input and output controls) on one small chip.14. World's First Magazine (1731): The Gentleman's Magazine
The Gentleman's Magazine, first published in 1731, in London, is considered to have become the first magazine. Edward Cave, who edited The Gentleman's Magazine under the pen name "Sylvanus Urban", was the first to use the term "magazine", on the analogy of a military storehouse of varied materiel, originally derived from the Arabic makazin "warehouse".
