October 2009: The University of Rochester has conferred an honorary doctorate on Steven Sasson, who invented the first digital camera while working for Eastman Kodak Company. Sasson developed the prototype in Rochester in 1975, as a 25-year-old engineer fresh out of college, and received a patent for it in 1978, along with his then-supervisor Gareth Lloyd. Sasson went on to spend 35 years working for Kodak before retiring in February.
Wow.. great minds people have. At 25 he could design such a thing and not even having a doctorate. Hurm. Looks like our trash compactor design wasn't all too great Arvind. haha.
