4Which came first?
- Instant PhotographyWhen his daughter asked why
she couldn't see a picture he had just taken,
Edwin Land began working on an instant
photography system. His solution, worked out over
seven years and refined for decades, sandwiched
all the necessary chemicals into one sheet of
photo paper. The first instant pictures were
black-and-white and appeared in about 60 seconds.
- Instant CoffeeInstant coffee was invented twice
first by a single chemist, then by the giant
Swiss company Nestle. The chemist saw that coffee
vapors condensed as a powder this powder could
be mixed with water to make coffee. Later, Nestle
sought to help Brazil find a market for its
surplus coffee. The solution was instant coffee,
freeze-dried, rather than powdered, and made on
an industrial scale.
