Ahhh...Wednesday. Hmmm...today is riddled with business. IN SPITE of that, I had a few thoughts.
What is the power of an idea? Your first thought might be: "big deal" "not much" or "so what." You might even think that none of that matters and everything is just an accident, choice or even fate! Hmmm...I am certainly not here to argue. So let's just "consider" together....
1900: electric cookers
1901: Marconi sends his first radio communication across the Atlantic ocean from England to Canada
Read about Guglielmo Marconi here more
1901: King Gillette invents a safety razor with a disposable blade

1903: porcelain is used for teeth fillings
1906: the world's first hydrofoil, designed by Enrico Forlanini, cruised across a lake in Italy

1906: W.K. Kellogg manufactures the first corn flakes

1914: the zip fastener is invented

1920: the first hand held hair dryer is on sale
1924: electric loudspeakers invented
Hmmm....while some of those seem mundane; try doing without most of them. Ahhh....the power of an idea — perhaps even the necessity of an idea. I suppose "America" and "freedom" and "democracy" were once just as such ideas.
