    I was just about to post this article (Thankfully lemmy warns you that it might be a duplicate!).

    This guy isn't a household name by any stretch but this invention quite literally changed the world. Few people have as far reaching of an impact as he had. Almost 101 years old too. I think he did Good..enough.
