Imagine life without your phone, artificial light sources, or even the Internet. Basically, what I’m saying is imagine life without Alexander Graham Bell, Thomas Edison, or Tim Berners-Lee. I say this because the concepts of each piece mentioned in the first sentence were derived from their inventions.

Inventors have made differences with their ideas and creations all over the world for ages and on February 11, we recognize their impact with National Inventors’ Day.

Show your gratitude and appreciation towards inventors! Taking part in this day can expand your knowledge of the brilliant inventors behind the technology, convenience and comfort that we have access to every day.

How do we participate in National Inventors’ Day? Perhaps today you can spend some time researching different inventions and the inventors, or attempting to invent something yourself.

Next time you turn on a light or pick up your phone, remember to be grateful to inventors for their dedication, time, and efforts to perfect their invention.
