I am not a creator --- Myth of Invention

Is Thomas Alva Edison great? Maybe. But was it him alone, who made available electricity in every house ? No. Anyone else also? Yes. Often-misguided Nikola Tesla of course, but even much more anonymous contributors have been on the timeline. Mr. John Doe, daily worker who built a power pole at this street, this state, USA; Yamada Hanako, who solved such and such equations necessary for effective amplification; or ancient Kurgan person in now called Georgia, several thousands of years ago, who ameliorated some method to make a bracelet with copper.

Thanks for your comment! yes, Newton's aphorism is to the point. And my intention is that ameliorators or even mere users are also important as creators. My further postings on this subject will be on this blog at some time.
