Let's talk camera's.. Today I felt like getting a little technical on all you techno- munchies followers, yes it's time we all got a little educated.

Did you guys know that the first camera was invented by Alhazen a great authority in optics, in 1000AD, it was called camera obscura (pinhole camera) www.inventors.About.com? I myself had absolutely no idea that it dates back so far. I then carried on researching and found out that in 1827 Joseph Nicephone was the first to make a photographic image with camera obscura.

Centuries later and technology just keeps evolving. Ubi-camera is the latest invention in the world of photography, its taken taking pictures to a whole new level. Gone are the days where you need a huge mechanical object to take pictures. The ubi-camera is an invention by a research group at the institute of advance media arts and sciences. This is a miniture camera that is placed on ones fingertips and one is able to take pictures just by shaping your thumb and index finger into a L shape www.coolestgadets.com. This gadget takes pictures according to how you frame your fingers. It's like reliving your childhood once more where taking  picture was merely through imagination and the touch of your fngers.
