摘要

How many famous inventors can you name? We often give credit to people like Thomas Edison for inventing the electric light bulb, the Wright brothers for inventing the airplane, and Alexander Graham Bell for inventing the telephone. Do you suppose that these people, smart though they were, just all of a sudden got the ideas for their "inventions" with no help from anyone else? Do you think that the Wright brothers just sat down at a drawing board one day and designed their airplane from scratch? No, of course you don't! Because no matter how smart inventors are, they almost always stand upon the shoulders of other smart people who have gone before them. There is a reason it has taken humans hundreds of thousands of years to finally acquire the amazing and almost magical technologies that surround us today. That reason is because it was very, very hard to get started!
