I read somewhere that the reason we all know Alexander Graham Bell is coz he beatr another guy to getting a patent.Apparently the other guy's phone wasd better than Bell's.
And that another guy who'd invented a printing press(Gutenberg takes the fame here)died of a heart attack two weeks b4 Gutenberg unveiled his.
But that is not corroborated info.Just something I read somewhere.
But you try and figure this;do you imagine all the things invented by all those who invented then hadn't been invented,we wouldn't be where we are today,tech wise?
Sometimes it's the time that is right for the idea.The "inventor" just happens to be there,and it would happen anyway if he wasn't,done by anothr person.
