Mankind has been inventing since its beginnings. The wheel, fire, arrows…I’m sure you’ve heard of them.
It wasn’t too long after these novel, useful inventions were created that society began rewarding inventors for their creativity. Even early inventors were rewarded for their inventions.
Fast forward to today. The United States Patent Office alone has approved of over 6 million patents since its inception in 1790. Many of these patents were granted during or after the 19th century, sparked by the industrial revolution. A great deal of ideas were flowing then as well as today. And you can bet on new revolutions in the not too distant future bringing in even more new inventions.
But it isn’t too late, not everything has been invented. Nor will that time ever come. Imagination and creativity can always build on old ideas, transforming them into new ones. Think about all the advances in medicine, the biotechnology revolution, the computer revolution, the internet revolution. New inventions are hiding out in each of these broad areas.
The US Patent Office allows new types of inventions to be patented where they never were before. New, untapped areas of human creativity abound where it wasn’t even possibility before. You just need to seek them out! Software can now be patented, as can methods for doing business on the internet. The possibilities are truly endless for the creative mind.
