    Notes on slide 1

    Nielsen Social Networking Report 3/2009

    The first poloroid camera was sold to the public in November, 1948. Polaroid photography was invented by Edwin Land . Land was the American inventor and physicist whose one-step process for developing and printing photographs created a revolution in photography - instant photography. You can view Edwin Land's patent for the polaroid camera on the left for the camera that allowed the photographer to remove a developing print after the picture had been snapped. Edwin Land founded the Polaroid Corporation to manufacturer his new camera.

    Nov, 2008 an administrator confiscated a student cell phone "as a result of a secondary issue." Wyoming county district attorney George Skumanick He had been particularly alarmed by the case of Jessica Logan, an 18-year-old from Ohio who took her own life after pictures she sent of herself to her boyfriend ended up in the hands of fellow pupils. Skumanick offered the Tunkhannock pupils in question, around 20 of them, a six-month education program to learn more about the consequences of their actions - and to help them avoid a child pornography charge. Three girls - and their parents - refused to sign up, and are now suing Skumanick with the help of the ACLU. Skumanick said he thought he was being "innovative and progressive" when he offered the classes. "I didn't have to give them this opportunity. I could have just charged them," he said. He says the recent arrest of a man in Georgia for allegedly making internet contact with one of the pupils involved in the case justifies his concern. The man has been charged with criminal solicitation and corruption of minors.
