  How could a company worth $3 billion US dollars in 1991 file for bankruptcy a decade later? A truly American enterprise was founded in 1937 by Edwin H. Land that would later in 1978 be known around the world as Polaroid Corporation, fame due from the Polaroid camera. This discussion posting provides a little background history to the founding technology from a visionary CEO. One of the early products from Polaroid was sold to the US Armed forces, as so many products were during the years of the second World War. One of the Polaroid products for the armed services was designed to enhance night vision though infrared lens. Edwin Land created a polarizing polymer film. The sheet of synthetic plastic film transformed the images which helped to company finically and win notoriety. This basic founding technology is not integrated into many products like polarized sunglasses and other polarizing camera lenses (Lathrop,2020).

 All the money and time in the world  Education Learn to be the best instructor that always connects with each student, inspires the next generation, and learns from the generation that came before me. What I would learn is languages and the nuances between the dialects: French, German, Italian, Spanish, Portuguese (because they are so close), Japanese, Korean, Mandarin, Hindi, Russian (during intercept messages), Ukraine (because there is a difference) to tell them what the Russians are planning, better English. Job or Research I don’t want my hobby to become my job, then I may hate my hobby. I’d be a Cybersecurity research (after become a fantastic instructor), and reverse engineer malware, harmful code, I’d invent a free service to un encrypt Ransomware, I’d research the network protocol and the TCP/IP stack (does that count as 7?) to make each layer secure, research to make internet faster, research to enable free VPN, research to have a Password Manager that works a...
