The Death of Polaroid

It’s the end of an era for Polaroid devoted fans. Polaroid Corp. has announce they will stop producing the camera and film that has been part of pop culture.

Polaroid, the company behind the iconic instant camera has announced it is to stop making the film, because there is no longer a market for it.

Three factories will close in Massachusetts, Mexico and Holland, resulting in 450 job losses.
