Benjamin Franklin, Inventor |
Benjamin Franklin was one of the most prolific inventors
to ever live. He created many inventions that are still in use today.
Much of the genius of Franklin's inventions came out of his ability
to see a need or problem and then come up with a solution. Sometimes
he made improvements on other people's inventions, other times he came
up with something entirely unique. |
Think about all of the objects that we use on a daily basis. Everything that we wear, use, listen to, read, ride in, or sit on was invented by someone. We take many of these inventions for granted, but can you imagine life before computers? Before cars? Before zippers and velcro? Before eyeglasses? Before plastic? |
