Invention and object of worship by the fifties. For 60 years was the emblem of the photos immediately on paper. Now erase the digital world.

Yes, technology is not always a symptom of good news. This I had highlighted in another article where it was obvious that development is not translated into jobs. In this case the technology was the victim Polaroid. One company that saw its golden age thanks to instant photos, "Click and Print", and maybe that is what will be missed more. The photos are beautiful because they are "moments" stolen, the ability to redo the scene because what we see on display there like ago lost its meaning the snapshot.

The Polaroid had already accused the coup of digital photography in 2001, when it declared bankruptcy, but also closes the last factories that produce the photo-sensitive paper on which left our memories.

In conclusion, the old Polaroid leaves us, and we will track you in the movies and in our memories. Perhaps we will see a new Polaroid that this is the world the face of a mini-printer that will give us the opportunity to make our digital as the old Polaroid, but will only "click-Review-Press."
