Eureka: Hello Invention

Once upon a time , “ inventor ” was an good - to - god occupation . You could check a loge , and tell the U.S. Census Bureau that ’s what you were . Now , discoverer are as - seen - as - on - tv set caricatures and “ innovation ” is a corporate - speak . We want to celebrate innovation . Eureka .

Eureka evokes mythological giants of wizardry like Leonardo da Vinci and Thomas Edison . World - changing products like the bidet , and Post - It notes and the telephone . Mad scientists like Doc Brown . Hot tub sentence simple machine . Modern daytime savants and tinkerer like Dean Kamen and Sir James Dyson . It ’s also corporations , like Microsoft and Apple , evolve natural drug user port technologies and tremendous miniature . Crappy Taiwanese firms re - imagining what can hump USB ports . Intellectual Ventures wants to direct us toward new way of devise , treating ideas like software to be licensed and sell .

The nature of invention today is very different than it was a hundred years ago , but the essential element , the wonder of human ingeniousness in all its forms , is still very much the same . That ’s what we want to wrap our heads around this week .
