Opis

How often do you hear someone say 'Why don't they do so-and-so'? Well, this book aims to show how you can do so-and-so. In the process you may set up your own business and make a million. If you have already made your million, or don't want to, it is still a good read and a way to keep the grey matter in trim. It has been said that everyone has an invention in them, and this book has dozens. There is a mixture from the easily achievable to way-out technology that may only become possible decades from now. The process of invention is described, and the reader encouraged to 'have a go'. Although the treatment is light hearted, this collection of articles has a serious purpose. The inventor is the most important member of society, if often maligned. The whole of our modern civilisation is based on invention; someone had to be the first person to make fire, chip flint, make string or weave. The process is ongoing and accelerating. There is a greater need for invention now than ever before, even if some of the inventions are required to cope with the unexpected consequences of past invention. This has always been the case. If you start a flint chipping site, you might have to invent shoes to cope with the splinters. Above all, inventing should be fun You may find that your friends think you are a bit odd on occasion. That is because they need educating; if that is not possible, perhaps you need different friends. If you are inventing and they are reactionary, the one thing that is certain is that you are right and they are wrong. You can start now, by making a list of all the things you would like to see, and all the glitches In other people's inventions you would like to see sorted out. You will find dozens. Join the club
