Accidents that helped the world

by Skip

Many of today’s inventions are the results of years of research, oodles of capital spent, and lots of sweat and tears.

On the other side of the ledger, sometimes, stuff just happens!  Accidents sometimes have given us the most bang for the buck (think "I was looking for one thing, and look what popped up instead!!").

5 Accidental Inventions That Changed The World

  1. Penicillin
  2. Safety Glass
  3. Vulcanized Rubber
  4. Krazy Glue and/or Super Glue
  5. The Microwave Oven

All of these should seem common place; but go read the stories behind the accidents!

Co-founder of GraniteGrok, my concern is around Individual Liberty and Freedom (and how Government is taking that away from us). My fight, from a Conservative (with small "L" libertarian leanings) and evangelical Christian perspective, is with the Progressives that are forcing a collectivized and secular humanistic future upon us. As TEA Party activist, citizen journalist (and pundit!), my goal is to use the New Media to advance the radical notions of America's Founders back into our culture again.
