Of course, being a dominant film provider became increasingly irrelevant in light of recent technological shifts. Early in the 2000s it made a bold bet: buying photo sharing site Ofoto in May 2001. For example, in the early days of Kodak's disruption, its core film business actually was growing. Kodak wasn't blind to this shift.
