Chapter 181 A Marathon to Enter History 2 (1/2)

Jake came into the company a little nervous still, but he calmed down when he saw that Matthew, Oliver, and the employee assigned to create the camera were quiet.

Jake thought they were in this camera business a lot longer than he knew about cameras after all Jake did not know much about it, after all, Jake's family never had much money in his past life.

When digital cameras were starting to become popular it was when Jake had suffered the accident and only Eva was the one who was working at the restaurant and bringing little money home.

When Jake started working again and they had more money the era of digital cameras had already passed and it was more common to buy a camera phone, so Jake had some cameras, but these had a much higher technology that was available in the year 1995 and even Jake did not know much about these cameras he had.

That was how Jake was giving his opinion to an airplane, the only thing he could say was that he had to fly, but how to make the plane fly he did not know, so he suggested that Matthew hire people who understand the technology or who were already working on similar technologies.

”Thank you for coming when I called Jake, the digital camera that will go to the stores in the next few weeks is ready, so I wanted you to see how it was and give your opinion.”

”No problem, Matthew, as it was I myself who suggested this nothing more just than I take responsibility and help whenever I can about it.”

After this Jake received the digital camera from the hand of the official who was responsible for creating this camera, Jake saw that this camera already had a small screen where it was possible to see the correct position that the photo would be taken.

Jake could also see that this camera had no zoom and the quality of the photos did not seem to be very good, besides, he did not know what kind of storage the camera was using, but it was not a memory card and could save a few photos.

Even so, Jake could not say for sure if this camera was good or not for the current technology, the storage system was a problem that all cameras faced before the arrival of the USB cable.

And even after that, the storage of a computer was not very good at that time, so it was a problem for the digital cameras, if they increase the quality of the resolution of the photos, even more, the number of photos that could be stored would decrease.

So Jake returned the camera to the clerk and asked to speak with Matthew and Oliver in private, he would not say he did not like the camera right in front of the employee who had the job of developing the camera.

Matthew seemed to have understood what Jake wanted and took him to his office in the company, the employee seemed to want to hear what Jake said and was disappointed not to hear Jake's opinions.

”Matthew as you may know I do not know much about digital cameras, but I think the quality of the pictures is very low, moreover, it has no zoom system for the camera, in addition to the quality of the pictures being too low cannot store many Photos.”

”Where is the memory card system that I said I needed this camera is also very large, how much will this digital camera cost?”

”It will cost around a thousand dollars, let's see how it goes before improving technology, in addition, storage and with the floppy.”

”One thousand dollars? That's too expensive Matthew, we have to improve this price, what quality of the photos and how many photos can save the camera?”

”It's 0.8 megapixels, we're looking at ways to improve that.”

”That's too bad, Matthew, we've got a lot to improve on, so you're not going to get a place in the digital marketplace.”

In fact, it was that Jake's knowledge about digital cameras came from the future that he was asking a lot of Matthew's company, after all the reason why many companies that made film cameras go bankrupt was not out of lack of will.

It is much more expensive to develop technology and create something new than just following behind big companies, Matthew himself had spent millions developing to be able to create this digital camera.

That's the biggest reason many companies went bankrupt, it was too expensive to get into that market and few expected the movie camera market to end up failing so they missed the opportunity, Matthew trusted Jake and his company had the capital to take the risk.

As Matthew further invested in the company he discovered that this was really the future and now could be his chance to take his company to the world stage together with the big companies of digital cameras.
