The impact of movies on geek culture is hard to argue. If we didn’t have Star Wars to obsess about, we’d be bored out of our glasses. Thankfully, movies were invented in the late 19th century as a mishmash of technologies converged into movie magic. Moving pictures existed for centuries before in the form of sequentially ordered pictures like flip books. A two-second film by Louis Le Prince called “Roundhay Garden Scene” is considered the earliest surviving motion picture, though evidence of earlier examples exists. William Kennedy Laurie Dickson, working for Thomas Edison, is credited with developing with coming up with the earliest commercially viable technology for movie making leading to something called the movie industry.
