If you find yourself in or near Rochester, N.Y., I recommend touring the George Eastman House/Museum. Eastman was the founder of Kodak and the company's arsenal included the iconic Brownie. (Brownie was a fuzzy/friendly Canadian cartoon character and Kodak swiped the image and name for its then-new camera.)

The docent I recently toured with visited the whole digital vs analog debate - even applying it to audio.

Of course, while Kodak had the patents to digital photography, they scoffed at digital. Kodak employment went from 72,000 to less than 7,000 today.
