| Ben Franklin |
During Franklin's time in colonial Philadelphia, there were people who made-do and people who didn't. If a gadget was invented to make life easier, most gave it a trial. People relied on what they heard from others who had tried the product before they gave it a chance.
Ben Franklin was always on the move. His inventions came about mostly from to necessity. While he ran a printing shop, he started US Post Office, started the first lending library, invented the catheter, the odometer, the Franklin Stove, the Lightning Rod, Bifocal eyeglasses, the glass harmonica, the Long Arm reaching device, swimmie fins, and the political cartoon.
