Steve Jobs, co-founder of Apple and one of the greatest innovators of our time, once said, “Creativity is just connecting things. When you ask creative people how they did something, they feel a little guilty because they didn’t really do it, they just saw something. It seemed obvious to them after a while. That’s because they were able to connect experiences they’ve had and synthesize new things.”
Jobs knew what he was talking about. History’s greatest innovators stand on the shoulders of those who have come before. Using discoveries that were hard-won or accidentally uncovered, inventors have changed the way we live by working passionately to connect the dots and make sense of the world around us.
Today, the modern men and women of innovation continue to analyze past technology in pursuit of the advancements that will define our future. Where will computers go from here? How can we leverage progress with the needs of an increasingly globalized community, and what will trigger the next medical breakthrough? These and many more unanswered questions continue to inspire some of the greatest minds of our time.
The inventions on the following pages illustrate the courage, resilience, and innovation of the human spirit, while simultaneously suggesting the challenges that remain. Perhaps, most importantly, the advancements listed here also demonstrate how a single spark of brilliance can touch us all. Writer William Arthur Ward once said, “If you can imagine it, you can achieve it.” All these inventions began in someone’s imagination, but it is their achievement that truly changed the world.
