Kodak Instamatic
A long time ago, the people who were alive then were told, ‘one day, everyone will have this cool gadget that you can carry round and you will be able to take photos with it’ and they all said ‘nah no way, you're dreaming’. But sure enough, in 1963, Kodak launched the Instamatic camera and everyone said ‘Yeah cool, but you can’t text from it’ and the Instamatic became the biggest tech flop in history – even before they knew what ‘tech’ was. OK, it wasn’t really a flop, Kodak sold more than 50,000,000 of them. There were only 50,000,000 people on earth then, so that was one each, except my sister hid mine on top of the wardrobe, so she had two.
