Elizabeth Gould says:“Man is by nature a pragmatic materialist, a mechanic, a lover of gadgets and gadgetry.” I agree with that! I think we have a desire to create for a reason! I think god puts those idea's in our head. I HATE what Henry David Thoreau says in this quote. “Our inventions are wont to be pretty toys, which distract our attention from serious things. They are but improved means to unimproved end.” He is basically saying that inventions are pointless. I don't think they are. I think they are so cool! Don't you know when you are thinking and you have a really good idea about an invention you think would be cool? If you had the mindset of Henry David Thoreau than you won't do anything about it! Think about if Thomas Edison had that mindset! We would't have the lightbulb!! That's a big deal!
