The End of Kodak. Long Live Kodakery

Alexis Madrigal of The Altantic has a great piece about the history of Kodak, its influence on business and culture, and what appears to by its very soon death.

Via The Atlantic:

Despite Kodak’s century of successes, the Wall Street Journal reports the company is likely to file for bankruptcy in the coming weeks. Even if it doesn’t, the corporate grandfather of the gadgets business is now struggling along with a market capitalization that looks more fitting for a penny stock than an industrial giant.

This is one of the sadder corporate endings in recent memory. Kodak is the company responsible for the popularization of taking photographs and the creation of a culture of life recording that has never been stronger. Kodak may not survive, but Kodakery lives on.
