Nikola Tesla! There's just something awesome about someone who invents this: http://www.pef.uni-lj.si/gorani/slike_fizika9.r/NikolaTesla.jpg http://www.glaspodrinja.com/images/02%20-%20Lab%20Kolorado%20Springsweb.jpg I mean come on! He invents something that arbitrarily fires bolts of electricity all over the place, then takes a photo of himself reading calmly underneath it : P F-ing... Awesome...

I think that whoever it was that invented the wheel did a pretty good job!

Thomas Edison was probably the most prolific at 1093 patents, not to mention architecture. Eli Whitney, besides the cotton gin, gave us interchangable parts. How valuable is that?

I must think about Leonardo da Vinci. But Louis Pasteur would also be an interesting choice... Or the inventors of the internet.

Nikola Tesla is the greatest inventor of all time. Edison stole all of his ideas and burned his laboratory. Edison should not be credited for inventing anything because he didn't invent anything. Without Tesla there wouldn't be any electricity. Tesla is the greatest mind in the whole world. He invented the future. Stupid teachers in school don't even talk about who invented basically everything on this planet that we have. Tesla is GOD.

The guy 50,000 years ago who decided that fire was useful and tried to control it.

The transistor was invented at Bell Laboratories in December 1947 by John Bardeen and Walter Brattain. Without that, you wouldn't have a computer to be AB'ing. You'd be watching your vacuum tube TV set.

Me, I am pretty creative and at the young age of 35 I have yet to wow the world with my inventiveness. Give it time my friends. OK I renege I'll be happy to occupy a top 10 spot. Let's give it up for Edison just because he was mad patent happy.

Tesla, he was a man beyond his time.

Da Vinci for me! followed closely by Edison
