Modern inventions have rapidly changed the world. From writing letters with pen, ink and paper and taking the letter to the Post Office for postage that may take days, weeks or even months to get to their destinations; to writing email or faxing documents that will get to their destinations almost immediately they are sent is the evidence that the world has rapidly changed.
Extraordinary people are the ones using their brain to change the world. Majority of these people did the inventions in the United States, by establishing their individual businesses that not only changed the world but also made them billionaires.
