This computer scientist is 9 1 years old. Before that, he had been suffering from Alzheimer's disease, which is what we call dementia.

Russell Kirsch was born in Manhattan and studied in many famous universities. After graduating from high school, he entered new york University, 1952 Harvard University, and later MIT.

Russell Kirsch's research and achievements. 1957, Kirsch and his team developed a digital image scanner, which is also the first digital image scanner in the world. It is used to track the intensity change of photo surface, and the first digital scanning experiment is carried out. In this experiment, the most famous photo scanned is that of Kirsch's three-month-old son. Kirsch and his team also use computers to extract line drawings, calculate objects, recognize alphanumeric characters, and constantly improve digital image scanners.

Subsequently, Kirsch became the editorial consultant of the Institute of Electronic Engineers and also the editorial consultant of Design Language magazine. In 2003, the scanned photos of Kirsch's son were rated as Life magazine? One of 100 photos that changed the world? Now this photo is kept in Portland Art Museum, and Kirsch's invention has also brought important technology for exploring space.

Now we can't live without all kinds of photos. Although Russell Kirsch's predecessors passed away, the science, technology and inventions he brought us will remain in the history books forever.
