jan 1, 1893 - Kinetoscope
Description:
Next, in 1893, came another invention – Thomas Edison's 'Kinetoscope'. The kinetoscopeprojected moving pictures, but it had three problems: a) it was noisy; b) the pictures it produced were of a
very low quality; c) only one person could watch a kinetoscope at a time.
Before cinema could be born, one last invention was necessary - a quiet machine able to project highquality pictures onto a large screen. And the men who produced that were two French brothers —Louise Jean and August Lumiere.
