Re: American Inventor reality TV show
do you know one of the items for which there is the greatest number of patents in the US patent office?
devices to squeeze the last bit of toothpaste from its tube!
How many of you have spent any money on one of these, because there are literally hundreds of patents on various versions of tooth paste squeezers, and hundreds more are submitted each year.
How many people are going to tune in to watch someone invent a new clothes pin, or new paper clip?
the major innovations in science and technology have not come from lone inventors. They simply dont have the education, resources, support teams, facilities or funding to do anything significant.
All the easy stuff has been done. The engineering and research (thats what professionals call it, research) that remains requires dedication, education, funding, and a lot of hard work :^)
