Students can research the history of movies and movie technology. Encourage them to include how films are being restored because the film itself deteriorates and how movies have changed over time. A photocopier is an invention that has made our lives more convenient. Chester F. Carlson in 1938 first invented this technique which gave rise in 1959 to the first office copier produced by Xerox. Photocopiers today use lenses, mirrors, color filters, lamps, and toners of magenta, cyan, yellow and black to reproduce images.
Some students are already familiar with the video camera and digital camera technology.
Students could use newspapers to research the cost and features of various types of video cameras and digital cameras. They could then design an ad that would encourage consumers to purchase a particular type of camera. All Rights Reserved .
