“When I was first blind I was told that there was being developed these glasses that were sonar and these would make an image on these glasses and there would be this picture over layed upon that and you would have these two receivers place upon the back of the tongue somewhere, on these nerve ending on the back of the tongue and those nerves obviously go up into the brain and the receivers would then transmit the images up into the brain.
I heard they had already tested this on some blind people, sort of guinea pigs and it worked in so much as they could actually see a certain amount indoors with a distance of about 6 or 8 feet I think it was and they could make out things like their furniture I suppose and they could make out their hands, or rather virtual images of them. So this all helped them in the house and making their way about. I’d heard it was going to be released in the public this year but I’ve never heard any more mention of it. I’m not sure if any of this would have worked upon me anyway though as supposedly I had some brain damage too as a result of the accident but I think to myself that sort of invention really might be able to help many other blind people wouldn’t it?.
There seems to be no interest in that sort of thing, you know, this is the sort of thing I think they would be better of putting money into rather than the Paralympics you know which isn’t really having any effect or changing the way disabled people actually live their lives or improving their quality of life at all. I guess all these thoughts and news reports get me down more really as I used to have a little hope that something might come along that might improve things for me, even just slightly in the future but now I know there is no likelyhood that my sight will ever get any better well, it is depressing, it gets me down in the dumps.
The Government does not seem to take much interest in these inventions even though they have been developed to some degree the don’t seem to take any interest in funding it any further or helping things and helping people and that’s what I can’t understand. They put all the money into the weapons and munitions and they’ll spend any amount of money to bomb countries, saying it’s important that they change the regime there because they don’t like some certain leader. Not only are people killed, many children are left as orphans, thousands of them very often and there is no caring about them, people get their legs blown off and end up in wheelchairs, many people are blinded through these bombs being dropped and the shrapnel and these cluster bombs and all that type of stuff so their life is finished and they have to live this dreadful lifestyle if you can even call it a lifestyle and what for? …just because there is an oil well there.
All the money that the Government spend on weapons and bombs could be spent on research and development for people with disabilities instead of being spent on bombs that cripple, maim and kill other people but instead of helping these people they just make more and more bombs, drop them and create thousands more of them.”

"In nature's inventions nothing is lacking,

A poem (sorry...it's in Dutch) inspired by this photo,
written by my Flickr friend Caroline /Evje Calling
(Thanks Caroline, I like it a lot!!!)
Een klein kevertje
zat op een blad
hij wilde wat doen
maar wist niet meer wat
hij liep onrustig
heen en weer
keek over de rand heen
keer op keer
voelde met z'n voetjes
in de regendropjes
die daar lagen
als parelknopjes
toen nam hij een hapje
van het blaadje groen
en al kauwend wist hij
dat dat was wat hij wilde doen.

A 1983 postage stamp from the Netherlands (PTT Post) issued as part of the annual Europa (CEPT) series. The theme for 1983 was "Inventions".
This specific 70-cent stamp (NVPH #1286) commemorates the launch of the ECS-1 (European Communications Satellite). The design by Jaap Drupsteen features the satellite orbiting Earth, flanked by a vertical row of flags representing the member states of the European Telecommunications Satellite Organization. It is a popular item for collectors of space exploration and postal history.
I do adore stepping into a nice tight pencil skirt and always feel extra girly when strolling around in one. The tight cut means you have to take smaller steps which feels great as does the feel of the fabric across my thighs. What a wonderful invention they are.
Gustave Eiffel was a very talented inventor and engineer. This photo showcases my favorite pair of his designs. The well known one behind me and the other which I'm adjusting here, the garter clip. Needless to say, I attracted a bit of extra attention while posing for this one and I apologize for any embarrassment I may have caused Jocelyne while she was taking it!
Invention for Destruction (Czech: Vynález zkázy) (aka The Fabulous World of Jules Verne) is a 1958 Czechoslovak black-and-white science fiction adventure film, which was steampunk before there was steampunk. Many of the scenes are based on cleverly composited engravings.
Today marks the day Louis-Jacques Daguerre's invention was recognised by the French government as a gift 'free to the world'.

Thank you in advance for your views, comments, and faves. They are much appreciated!
this photo was taken for macromonday's weekly theme "Oscar Wilde quotes".
Here I was thinking of:
"I am too fond of reading books to care to write them", by Oscar Wilde.
I love reading and always have since i was a child. And I think the best invention ever was these tiny bookmarks permanently attached to books (I have no idea what they are called technically correct but you know what I mean).
"Shoot it! Shoot it now!!!" Jeanne yelled. She swore she was going to clobber Francis after this whole thing blows over. His hands were shaking like a zeppelin in turbulent winds, and she could hear his incoherent muttering over the clanking sound of the machinery that was running amuck before them. The gears whirred and clicked while the steam spewed into the air; certainly a sight to see, but unwanted for all the chaos it had caused.
Somewhere behind on the trail of his invention, Harvey ran past a dozen cursing passerby and broken street lamps and benches. His mind burned through a thousand thoughts and wishes, but all were wishes that could only be granted with the use of a time machine. He saw the white cloud of steam beyond the fences, and prayed for the best that his invention would make it home in one piece.
-----------------
Aaaand the steampunk mood strikes again! This time it's a walking stomping steam walker wrecking havoc on the poor citizens, thanks to the clumsy mistakes of Harvey the inventor.
The walker is purposely made to look rickety and more like a hodge podge of forms and functions rather than an actual functioning machine, in the spirit of steampunk and the early stages of inventing something :D

Just a fountain pen, but for me a remarkable invention.
In the 1880's the era of the mass produced fountain pen finally began.
The dominant American producers in this pioneer era were Waterman, of New York City, and Wirt, based in Bloomsburg, Pennsylvania.
This picture is sooc.

The transition from manual to automatic connection in domestic telephone traffic is completed in 1972.
Jay Maisel talked a lot about having fun with photography. If we are not enjoying it why are we doing it? He also encouraged creativity and invention, seeing the same old thing in a completely new way. He said "focus on not being focused, let go!" He suggested that we daydream, doodle, and play. It was quite fun and invigorating to go out shooting with this mindset.
