Etymology
The word 'camera' originated from the Latin word 'camera obscura', which means 'dark chamber'. The concept of a camera obscura dates back to ancient times, where it was used as a tool for artists to trace images. Over the years, the camera evolved into the modern device we know today, capable of capturing still images and videos. The invention of the photographic camera in the early 19th century revolutionized the way people preserved memories and documented history.
