Although the current wave of technological advancements do count for something, what’s missing in these times are the inventors that completely changed the way that people think about life.

For centuries, there were men and women who made their living by coming up with the best solutions to common problems on their own. However, the current thought is that thinks will work better when a think tank, or collective of minds work to tackle these problems. Because of this new attitude and the extra regulations that modern inventors must deal with on a daily basis, there may never be inventors like Thomas Edison and Nicolae Tesla.
