I found an A1 old film camera(i think it was made in 1978!), i was wondering, can i by any means convert the contents of the film to digitaL(meaning i put the pictures on my computer without scanning the printed pictures)?!?!?!

1978 is about right for the A1 - I have two of them.
They are incredible cameras, optics very good, construction very strong and the only problem that I have found is that if your battery is dead, you are dead. So carry extra batteries.
There are many scanners, or printers that have negative scanning capability (generally for 35mm only) that will do a good job for you.
As for making it digital, you would only be making it less good.

Many photodevelopers (e.g. Target, Walmart, etc) today will offer to put your pictures on a CD at the same time that you print your photos. Otherwise you will need to scan the print or negative yourself.

You can scan a negative if you have that type of scanner. But you still have to at least process the film to a negative or slide then you can scan the print or the negative.

To clarify the above post if you have a store make a photo cd make sure that the resulting images are a decent resolution.
I don't know what they are doing now on the photo cd's but they used to be less than 1 mb.

Yes, it could able to do it, but you have to scanning pictures to convert it to your computer.
