All the small things - wie 1997 das Foto einer neugeborenen Tochter Technikgeschichte schrieb.<\/em><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

An alle da drau\u00dfen, die Anfang der 2000er V\u00e4ter geworden sind: wer hat bei Geburt seines Kindes den Drang versp\u00fcrt, diesen Moment festzuhalten und mit m\u00f6glichst vielen aus seinem Umfeld zu teilen?
Und wer hatte damals die M\u00f6glichkeit, dies ohne Umschweife zu tun, m\u00f6glichst \u00fcber Mobilfunk? Denn bis Smartphones oder einfach Handys mit Kamera allt\u00e4glich in Gebrauch waren, gab es tariflich und vor allem technisch noch Hindernisse dabei.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Dies wusste auch Philippe Kahn, studierter Mathematiker, franz\u00f6sischer Immigrant, Software-T\u00fcftler und Entrepreneur im Silicon Valley.
Und dennoch gelang es ihm, mit einem Bild seiner frisch geborenen Tochter Sophie ein kleines St\u00fcck Technikgeschichte zu schreiben: Als Dokument des ersten Handy-Foto-Sharings der Welt nahm die TIME das briefmarkengro\u00dfe Bild 2016 in ihre Auswahl der 100 einflussreichsten Fotografien aller Zeiten auf.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Was heute selbstverst\u00e4ndlich ist, war eben an jenem 11. Juni im Jahr 1997 ein noch gr\u00f6\u00dferes Unterfangen. Zwar gab es die Komponenten: Digitalkamera, Handy mit Mobilfunk und mail-f\u00e4higer Computer. Aber diese Kombi so zum Einsatz zu bringen, dass wie heute selbstverst\u00e4ndlich sofort gepostet und versendet werden kann \u2013 das war damals nicht ohne Weiteres drin.
<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Masterplan<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

Vielleicht gerade deshalb nahm sich Philippe Kahn vor, das erste Bild seiner Neugeborenen digital festzuhalten und sofort mit der Welt zu teilen.
Laut Berichten nutzte er die 18 Stunden, die seine Frau in Wehen verbrachte, daf\u00fcr, seine bereits seit Monaten entwickelte Servertechnik mit der daf\u00fcr notwendigen Hardware zu verbinden.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Teile holte er aus dem Auto, ein Eingeweihter fuhr zum Elektronikmarkt f\u00fcr noch ein paar fehlende Komponenten und auf der Station kam sogar der L\u00f6tkolben zum Einsatz. Das Ergebnis war ein improvisierter Stack aus einer Casio QV Digitalkamera, seinem Toshiba-Laptop und einem Motorola StarTAC Flip Phone, welche alle \u00fcber seine Programmierung mit seinem Server verbunden waren.
<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Step by Step<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

Die Digicam verband er per Kabel mit dem Rechner, wohin die Software das Bild zuerst schickte. Von dort aus musste es auf seinen Server gelangen, von wo er eine Massenmail an seine Kontakte versenden wollte. Hierzu kam sein Motorola-Mobiltelefon zum Einsatz.\u2028<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Ein Stecker seiner Auto-Freisprecheinrichtung und weitere Zeilen Code lie\u00dfen das Handy mit dem Rechner kommunizieren. So gelang der Transport des Bildes an seinen Server per Mobilfunk, von wo aus dann ein Link als Massenmail verbreitet wurde.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Kurz darauf war die Mail an rund 2.000 Kontakte weltweit versendet, die mit Begeisterung und Verwunderung auf das briefmarkengro\u00dfe (320 \u00d7 240 Pixel erleichterten die \u00dcbertragung) Foto reagierten! MMS, heutige Social-Media-Plattformen oder Smartphone-Messenger gab es noch nicht; andere mobile \u00dcbertragungswege waren teuer und technisch umst\u00e4ndlich - vorausgesetzt, man hatte die technischen M\u00f6glichkeiten.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Things Can Only Get Better<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

Kahn versuchte, seine Idee zu vermarkten, aber die angesprochenen Unternehmen winkten zun\u00e4chst ab. Mobiltelefone waren doch eher zum Telefonieren gedacht, war die g\u00e4ngige Meinung.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Um 2000, als erste Kamerahandys an den Markt kamen, wurde seine Idee mit japanischen Partnern aufgegriffen. Seine Firma LightSurf, die seine Ideen weiterentwickelte, ging 2005 an VeriSign.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Heute ist sein Prinzip des Sofort-Bild-Machens-und-Teilens selbstverst\u00e4ndlich, genauso wie es sich heute als werdender Vater ziemt, seine Partnerin in den Krei\u00dfsaal mit zu begleiten (eigene leidvolle Erfahrung mit 24 h Wehen).<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Philippe Kahn gilt aufgrund seiner vielen T\u00fcfteleien und Gr\u00fcndungen als Legende im Silicon Valley.
Und Tochter Sophie ist mittlerweile selbst mitten im Leben.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
