inventors  

Definition

  • When one thinks of inventors, one typically forms an image of a Thomas Edison or a Henry Ford: adults who made fame and fortune through their inventions. One may also have more ambiguous images of adults who had clever ideas but for one reason or another achieved neither fame nor fortune.
