Steven Sasson,a Kodak engincer,invented the first digital camera in 1975.The first digital camera had just0.0 1 megapixcls(百万像素)，but now,we have digital cameras with up to 160 megapixels.Nearly every smartphone has its own digital camera connected to its back and front.

In Sri Lanka,something interesting happened before the tsunami arrived.Just before the big waves came,many animals started to run away.Elephants were very nervous and tried to get far from the sca.Flamingos flew off together and left the area.But the tsunami was a big shock to humans-no one knew it was coming.So how did the animals know about it earlier than people did? In Japan,some people are trying a new animal waming system.Many believe that animals,such as dogs or chickens,become nervous before an carthquake.In Susaki,a small town in Japan,people check how their pets behave.If they notice that their cat or dog looks worried,they can call a special phone number. Can animals really predict (carthquakes and other natural disasters?Can they save lives?No one really knows.But perhaps animals know more than we do. 35.What happened in Japan in December,2025?

These old hobbies help young people reduce stress and feel relaxed.When they finish a gift or a dish,they feel proud and successful.Social media helps them become more popular.
