Kodak Kills Kodachrome

eldavojohn writes "Another sign that digital cameras are slowly phasing out analog comes with Kodak's announcement to discontinue Kodachrome film. This should come as no surprise as Polaroid film was phased out long ago. At least the analog photography industry knows how to change with the times."

    Facebook there's enough pics for any future historian.

    And here, children, is our exhibit on the Great Collapse, also sometimes called the Second Dark Ages. The details of how it happened are sketchy, but we have abundant archaeological evidence from what is known as the Facebook Archive that 21st century humans were utterly incapable of forming coherent sentences or spelling words in their entirety, and were bizarrely obsessed with inane abbreviations like "brb," "lol," and "ur." Without any effective means of communication, commerce broke down completely, and the people apparently resorted to a system of "mafia wars," wherein they formed marauding bands to steal items like the "Ace of Clubs" from one another.

    We don't know how this society of babbling idiots survived, but they managed to eke out some kind of meaningless existence until the Armed Grammarian Uprising of 2057, when order was restored.
