Episode 16: "The Argonauts of the Air" by H.G. Wells

I want to get something off my chest. I feel as though it’s been a long time since our last TRUE invention. A tangible thing that flips the entire world on its’ axis hasn’t been released in a long time. Don’t fight me. This story is all about an inventor investing all of his time and money into this flying machine. The papers, his community, and passersby mock him and laugh at this seemingly unattainable goal. They see him as a joke, which starts to get into his head. Inventors have to be very brave and strong to do what they do. The constant noise and criticism can be overwhelming, and may derail the process. It’s not for the weak and takes a lot of dedication to filter out the negative voices. Can you think of an invention you’d like to see? Or are you like me, in thinking we’ve done so much, there’s not really more tangible inventions to be created?
