I love this quote by Thomas Edison and his life’s work truly encapsulates this sentiment.
A prolific inventor, he lodged over 1,000 US patents, many resulting in new industries that could capitalise on his designs which specifically lent themselves to mass production. We know him for the light bulb, but he also created inventions in sound recording (phonograph), motion pictures (Kinetograph – a one person peep hole style movie viewing machine), stock ticker (transmitted stock price information over telegraph lines,), mechanical vote recorder (machine to register and tabulate votes) and the nickel-iron battery used in automobiles and other devices.
