Did you know this? 📷🤳📱

First Cell-Phone Picture, 1997.

In 1997, Philippe Kahn got bored waiting for his wife to give birth. So, he created a device connecting a digital camera to his cell phone to instantly share photos of his newborn daughter with over 2,000 people.

This simple idea later led to the first commercially available integrated camera phone in 2000, changing how we communicate and paving the way for modern smartphones and apps.
