Keep reading to find out the countries that have invented the most things in all human history. It is a very interesting topic and now Insider Monkey has published an article about it. No matter where we look around what we observe, what we use – they are all inventions. Biros, com puters, cars, bikes – everything! Nut what are those countries that gave us the most inventions? Come and read this article with us!
What is invention? “An invention is an outcome of any idea, device, method or composition of a process. It may be a new development or further improvement of the existing design.” I find this to be a good definition because it talks about the process; not all inventions are what they were meant to be, things change in the process. It also implies that the evolution of an invention also counts as one, which is why you will see that some items are featured in several countries’ lists. It’s so silly, they’re all fighting over who invented TV, when they actually did it together. This says a lot about how the world works. The one thing this definition is missing, in my view, is “findings”, which I consider to (sometimes) constitute inventions as well, because not all of those are intentional. What makes an invention out of a finding is awarding it a purpose. If you need an example, think of penicillin.
Now without a further ado let’s see what Insider Monkey has investigated for us. We have picked one country from their for now.
