But without a big idea to begin with, they would never happen at all. And without these big ideas and the inventions they lead to, our lives would be very different. They have changed the way we live and think and changed the course of history. Ideas in action Just look around you—how many of the things you can see didn’t have to be invented by someone? In fact, without inventions, many of us wouldn’t even be alive— medicines and machines start keeping us safe and healthy even before we are born and continue protecting us throughout our lives. Some inventions keep us in touch with our friends, allow us to explore our world, or help solve the mysteries of the universe, while others simply help us enjoy ourselves. IInnttrroodduuccttiioonn 8
