The nutty inventor, working alone in an attic, is a stock figure in American culture (even though
we know that much invention is corporately financed). Who are American inventors today?
Producer Larry Massett takes a look at the myth and reality of the inventor.
This program was produced in association with
The Jerome and Dorothy Lemelson Center for
the Study of Invention and Innovation at the Smithsonian's National Museum of American
History. See their web site for information about the upcoming symposium on "The Inventor
and Innovative Society" and other special events.
