Our year-long exploration of “America The Great” continued in June by discovering America’s visionaries in the industry in innovation. From historical pioneers to more recent trendsetters, residents at MBK communities learned how these influencers utilized creativity, passion, and fresh thinking to make life better.
How many of the Top Five American Innovators can you name by the field they most influenced?
- Lighting, sound, and motion pictures.
- Personal computers and smartphones.
- Production and transmission of power.
- Computer software and healthcare.
- Flight.
Each of these individuals impacted the world around us. Bringing us light to darken rooms, connected us to others through the world wide web, re-imagined clean energy, made work systems more efficient, and enabled us to travel the globe. They’re counted among some of the greatest innovators in the world.
Did you guess: 1. Thomas Edison, 2. Steve Jobs, 3. Nikola Tesla, 4. Bill Gates, 5. Orville & Wilber Wright.
