Interesting Technology Development Parallel: Who Is It?

1. His most prolific years were when young (25-40)
2. Ignoring science philosophers of the day, he doggedly pursued testing for greatly advanced practical results and marketing to the endangering of his own health.
3. He tested every possible known option in pursuit of making any idea work no matter how long it took.
4. He pushed his devoted employees almost as hard as himself.
5. He was looking for societal benefit in every invention and not the money alone that it may bring.
6. He (re) invested millions of his own money in almost every project regardless of the sacrifice to his own pleasure or family.
7. He had many detractors, non believers and nay-sayers especially from the professional invention community who were proved so wrong.
8. Early phase Financial backers were very scarce and way too conservative by withholding funds based on market sentiment.
9. His inventions usually broke new ground not familiar others.
10. His inventions were not a link in the chain but usually part of a complicated system of service delivered to the public: (lights, electricity, outlets, electric motors, power generators, power houses, distribution lines, music replayable and re-recordings, color movies with sound, etc.)
11. The better invention products often took much time in years of development to be usable.
Often the work and announcements of progress were kept secret until almost ready.
