Developing new technology is, as Edison once said, "one percent inspiration and ninety-nine percent perspiration." It makes sense when you consider what technology really is: technique. It is, at root, a new way of doing something; presumably a way that never existed before someone painstakingly established it. Since developing new technology is hard work, it stands to reason that only a relatively few people devote their lives to doing it.

Every inventor knows that it's a mistake to go around bragging about your idea to everyone who will listen. Careless mistakes should obviously be avoided.

As a result, many inventors spin their wheels without any real sense of direction or purpose.

With all the false starts and do-overs that come with inventing something, it is easy to feel like the Rodney Dangerfield of inventing: like you get "no respect" from credible figures in your field. If investors are turning you down, business partners are flaking out, and you can't even seem to get your calls returned, it may be time for a change of priorities.

Well, they aren't.
