See Philip Kahn's Amazing Story

Millions or even billions of photographs are taken and uploaded to social networks. Photography and making videos etc. are the biggest needs of the man today. 



And all this is done by a gadget that today every person carries in his pocket which is phone, and almost all phones are having camera. Every moment is shared with friends on social networks, every moment is recorded, where we go we capture that place and upload or store it. 



After years we can show people and our children or the children of our children that we were once like this. We have all the internet, the camera and the telephone in just one gadget.

About 17 years ago there was no camera phone to record to moment and no everywhere accessible internet to share with everyone every moment like now we do.  If someone had camera, he was to take picture then go to computer having internet connection then he had a way to upload that to the world wide web.

Now lets talk about the main theme of the article.

Story Of Philip Kahn 

The story of invention of Camera-Phone is very interesting because it was done in hospital during a delivery. Yes in hospital in 1997 when Philip Kahns wife was giving birth to his child.

Philip Kahn was with his wife in the hospital and she was suffering labor pain, he talked with his wife and she told him to go or not to stand here because she was in pain. He then replied to her that ok I am going to find some table and set there and try to do something.

Thus Philip Kahn came out from the Maternity Room where his wife was suffering her labor pain and doctors were operating or helping the delivery. He came and sat on table and as he brought with him his bag having all stuffs like his laptop, his phone and his camera. 



I don’t know really that how to him came the idea either his some relative called him or he himself got this idea in his mind but I think some relative called him to send the picture of baby after the birth, may be his Mother called him. 



He I think got this idea before but at that situation he done this due to no availability of instant sending the mail as at that time he had no internet there and without that sending picture was impossible and his relative or mother told him to email the picture of baby.

Anyway he opened his bag and putted out the phone, camera and his laptop on the table. He tried to connect the camera with internet through cellular network as he thought that it can be possible to send it through his phone and I think it was not so much difficult task for him because he already was a software developer and he had a life in the field as he has now. 



His wife was in labor pain and he was working on his idea, he made connected the phone with laptop and camera during 18 hours as his wifes labor pain lasted for 18 hours.

When his wife gave birth to his newly born baby after the 18 hours of labor, he got his camera and took a snap of his baby then came and uploaded the pic to his laptop and connected his phone. 



When he done this he then re-uploaded the photo to phone and tried to send that snap through cellular network of phone. Finally he succeed in sending the picture and then to confirm he called his mother to check the mail and tell is the mail received? His mother told him that yeah she got the email and the baby is very cute. 

 

So Philip Kahn invented the camera-phone in 1997 which is now the need of everyone. We all like it because we want take photo’s as it is a hobby of everyone today. Also we use camera of our phone to video call someone on skype or any other such website. 



Camera-phone! Due to its availability we until now have captured also many events that could be difficult to capture if the camera is not available in phone because phone is important and easy to carry and easy to snap with its camera and everyone have it.
