jul 4, 1983 - Camcorder

Description:

First successful invention by the Sony Corporation.
It’s a critical communication breakthrough because it allowed for non-professionals to record live video and audio to playback later. It influenced the nature of communication since people could share experiences that had taken place at an earlier time. Positive implications of the camcorder include the ability for people to record memories that previous film cameras used to do. Negative implications include the ability to record without the persons consent.
