Facts
1894:
Fred Otts Sneeze was the first motion picture to be copyrighted in the US.
William Kennedy Dickson receives a patent for motion picture films.
Thomas Edison (not the light bulb guy) experiments with synchronising audi with film: the kinetophone is invented which loosely synchronises a kinetoscope image with a cylinder phonograph
1900-1927:
 The birth of the nation was the highest grossing silent film.
 A total of 70% of American silent feature films are believed to be completely lost.
1939:
The Atanasoff–Berry computer (ABC) was the first automatic electronic digital computer, an early electronic digital computing device that has remained somewhat obscure. The ABC's priority is debated among historians of computer technology, because it was not programmable, nor Turing-complete.
1950's:
In the 1950’s the development and adoption of magnetic recording and reproduction and the invention and mastery of new kinds of cinematography, such as wide-screen, widegauge (65–70-mm), Cinerama, stereoscopic, and multiscreen films, brought about significantly higher quality films
1970-1990:
The first consumer videocassette recorders (VCR) were launched in 1971 (based around Sony U-matic technology)
