"Kodak engineer Steve Sasson invented the first digital camera in 1975. Blissfully unaware that his invention would primarily be used to photograph plates full of kale, he combined a Super 8 camera lens, 16 cadmium batteries, and a bunch of circuit boards to handle the incredible-at-the-time processing power of 0.01 megapixels. Finally, he strapped the whole thing to a tape recorder so he could save the files, resulting in a fucking Frankenstein of '70."
