I use this blog to gather information and thoughts about invention and innovation, the subjects I've been teaching at Stanford University Continuing Studies Program since 2005. The current course is Principles of Invention and Innovation (Summer '17). Our book "Scalable Innovation" is now available on Amazon http://www.amazon.com/Scalable-Innovation-Inventors-Entrepreneurs-Professionals/dp/1466590971/

Lunch Talk: Inventions that shook the world (1940s)
The 1940s - It was a decade of big bands and big bangs. During the Second World War, the 1940s bring us some of the greatest inventions of all time. And in the peaceful years that followed, all that inventing know-how would carry on in ways we never imagined.
Featured Inventions: Jet Engine, Computer, Microwave Oven, Kitty Litter, Crash Test Dummy
"Inventions That Shook The World" is a 10-part documentary by Discovery Channel.
Update: the video contains the answer to Review Question 1 of the Prologue in Scalable Innovation (page xxiv).
