When we think of “the greatest inventors” in the world, we almost always think about the
likes of Thomas Edison or Alexander Graham Bell. They had revolutionary ideas and there is no
doubt that our lives would be very different (and very boring) without their creations. It almost
seems like nobody has invented anything useful in a long time, but this is simply not true!
Our technology today is so advanced that new inventions don’t seem to have life- changing
results. But this doesn’t mean that they aren’t useful, or that they aren’t amazing, either. It’s just
that they are more subtle than it was in the past when new creations drastically changed our way
of life. And so, we should celebrate these incredible people and respect them as we respect the
inventors that came before them.
Modern-day inventor Elon Musk has transformed the world of automobiles with his creation
of arguably the first automatic car that performs as well as regular cars.
Before he passed away in 1931, Thomas Edison held the world record for the most number
of inventions – 1093 to be exact. In 2003, a Japanese inventor named Shunpei Yamazaki beat his
record. As of today, Yamazaki holds the record of 6074 inventions, and counting!
And then there is Mark Zuckerberg whose invention actually did change our lives, especially
in terms of social media, marketing, and even job creation. Zuckerberg was only 19 years old
when he invented Facebook. In 2007, at age 23, Zuckerberg became the world’s youngest self-
made billionaire.
