List Lemelson Invention Index Fund and the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT) announced on 01.26.2012, are made based on survey of 1,010 Americans ages 16-25, to determine the light institutional greatest ever.
Most young Americans surveyed, 52%, choose Edison is the greatest invention. 24% voted for Steve Jobs. Next is Alexander Bell, Marie Curie and Mark Zuckerberg - CEO of Facebook. That young man received 3% of the vote.
Among the creations of Steve Jobs with iPhone and iPad, the well-known devices, is changing the way we communicate with each other and help Apple become one of the world's largest companies.
Many people do not agree with this list, especially with the location of Steve Jobs. According to the author's Tito Grag Escapist magazine, call Steve Jobs is the inventor was a mistake, because Jobs did not invent anything. Greg Tito said that Jobs is a CEO, a great leader. He organized others make discoveries and inventions themselves, but he is not the inventor.
Many others said that characters like Nikola Tesla (with the revolutionary contributions in the field of electric and magnetic fields), Tim Berners-Lee (father of the World Wide Web) worth more than Steve Jobs and Mark Zuckerberg more.
But to understand this list, because respondents are young. Steve Jobs and Zuckerberg achieve such a high position in the list for young adults to feel what the characters brought great influence to their daily lives. For example, 40% of survey participants said they could not imagine my life without electricity or smartphone tablet.
In addition, those surveyed did not select a contemporary character, which is chosen Thomas Edison's greatest inventor, although his achievements were made mainly in the 1880s.
In another aspect, the people surveyed are not sure about the possibility of its patent. 45% said that creativity is not properly concerned at their school, and 28% said that their educational process is not ready to step into the field of creativity, such as science, technology, skills arts or mathematics.
The survey showed that over the past year, less than half of the respondents were doing things like using a drill or electric hand tools, or something from processing raw materials. "We have to attract students to the creative experience like this, as well as providing a strong education in science, technology, engineering, mathematics, to prepare for inventors future, "Leigh Estabrooks, chairman of education Lemelson-MIT says creativity.
Program of the Lemelson-MIT InvenTeam is sponsoring several student groups, each group of up to $ 10,000, so they pursue innovative projects last year to tackle the problems of the real world.
