Is there a reason we almost never hear of “great inventors” anymore, but rather the companies and the CEOs said inventions were made under?
In: 5024
Technology is sufficiently advanced at this point that no single individual can invent a cutting edge piece of technology. It will always require a team of individuals working to push the technological envelope these days. However, human psychology basically wants to believe in this idea of heroes (Great Men Theory) who are able to transcend normal human limitations. Today the only logical person to consider the hero is the leader of the company which made the breakthrough even if they had little to do with personally creating that breakthrough.
