National Inventors' Hall of Fame This is a nice looking site with some interesting information in it, but it is irritatingly incomplete. I have no argument with the people who are included, it's more the exclusion of the inventors of entire categories that I find hard to understand. In just two areas that I know a little of the history (radar and photography), the inventors of the technology have been ignored, whilst later (and brilliant) developers of specific evolutions or improvements have been included. I think the main reason is a fixation on patents. A more accurate name for the site would be National Patent Holders' Hall of Fame. It's still worth a look around, though. 8:56:47 AM    comment()
