What Happened to the Inventors? (kylegill.com)

We don't value either invention or the kind of hard work it requires any more as a society, and so we don't produce many inventors any longer.

There are a billion more inventors now than in the 15th century. Technology is exploding.

They aren't called inventors anymore. They are researchers, scientists, analysts, principals, entrepreneurs etc. People are discovering and inventing new things, a lot of it in private companies.
