Once upon a time...

Once upon a time too many great and wonderful technological inventions were lost to us. Every day, great thinkers, who didn't particularly consider themselves to be great thinkers, had many sparks of imagination come to them. Most of those sparks were passing; a few ignited into small flames. Some took on a life of their own and consumed the thinkers, who quickly started building their ideas into what they hoped would one day become reality. Sadly, for all of us, most of the ideas lacked something. For a few of them it was specific knowledge, for others it was money, but for a lot of them, it was simply a continued lack of feedback and support from others when the times got tough. One day a small group of thinkers and builders got together in one place and swore to themselves and to all the truly great thinkers and builders out there, that this would not continue to be the case. Because of that, they built a place where individuals could come with their ideas, talents and other resources, and build teams around the best of those ideas. Because of that, good ideas got better and those ideas became profitable endeavors for the members of those teams. Until finally we all benefited from the inventions that would have otherwise been lost as so many were before.
