Abstract
Technological advances are happening at an ever increasing rate, and we seem always to be looking forward-which is good-but would it not also be uplifting to look back and acknowledge-even pay homage-to the pioneering spirit of those whose efforts laid the foundation for all the technological advantages we enjoy today? Our schoolbooks, teachers, and professors seldom mention these pioneers....if indeed they know anything of their existence. Further, many historians and book writers have elevated the names of entrepreneurs and technologists for discoveries made by early pioneers, and if we are not more mindful our historical heritage will be lost forever
