Introduced Year

Introduced year places a media technology in the year it actually launched. Wikipedia notes that "the first version, Process 1, was introduced in 1916, and improved versions followed over several decades," long before the three-strip process most people picture. Browsing by introduced year traces how media technology has developed in stages rather than all at once.
