Accidental inventions

Ninety nine per cent perspiration and one per cent inspiration is one famous formula for the secret to success. That could be. It does seem to leave out another crucial ingredient though – luck. A surprising proportion of discoveries have a strong element of the accidental about them. Yes, both hard work and genius had a role to play, but if it wasn’t for lady luck we wouldn’t be able to dose ourselves with penicillin when we are struck down with a bacterial infection, take an aspirin for a headache or even mark our place in a book with a post-it note.


Perhaps the most famous of these accidents was when Alexander Fleming discovered penicillin. The story is that his laboratory was notoriously untidy and that he mistakenly left out a dish in which he had been growing staphylococcus – a bacteria he was researching. This accidentally became contaminated and so he threw it away. It was only when he came to clean the dish that he saw a blue-green mould had stopped the bacteria from growing. This was penicillin. The story becomes even stranger yet when one considers that some twenty years earlier a similar discovery about the properties of penicillin had already been made. Nothing came of that earlier discovery because no one saw that there was the connection with the spread of disease. It is almost as if Fleming simply had the luck to be in the right place at the right time.


A different type of accident led to the invention of cellophane – the clear plastic film that is used the world over. James Brandenburger set out to make a product that would prevent wine and food spillages from staining tablecloths; but he failed. That failure was no by complete though, as he saw that one of the by-products of his experimentations was usable. His spark of genius was to see that the plastic film he had created could be mass produced as food packaging. A similar story can be told of the invention of superglue which was discovered when an army scientist, Dr Harry Coover, was attempting to manufacture a plastic for gun sights, only for him to realise that he accidentally found one of the strongest adhesives known to man. This theme of failure leading to success is also found in the story of the now nearly ubiquitous post-it note. It now has many different uses ranging from students for making notes or as a simple reminder stuck to the fridge door. What makes it so versatile? It’s the very weak glue that holds those iconic little yellow notes together. The inventor though did not set out to create such a weak adhesive – in fact quite the opposite – and it was only when a colleague saw its potential use in note pads that it became a success story.


Chance also played a significant role in the invention of saccharin – one that would not be possible in this health and safety conscious age. A scientist was working in a laboratory on a chemical and then went home without washing hands properly, leaving traces of that chemical on his fingers. That night as he was eating his bread, he was puzzled to find that it tasted much sweeter than normal. He put two and two together and went back to his lab and ran some tests on the chemical he had been handling and so discovered the artificial sweetener that so many use today as a replacement for sugar. The irony is that his failure in personal hygiene has saved many lives as saccharin is a vital component in the diet of people who suffer from diabetes.

Làm tiếp đi bạn, 1 bài ví dụ nữa nè.

 Utopia

A utopia is a community or society possessing highly desirable or perfect qualities. The word was coined in Greek by Sir Thomas More for his 1516 book Utopia, describing a fictional island society in the Atlantic Ocean. Chronologically, the first recorded utopian proposal is Plato's Republic. It proposes a categorization of citizens into a rigid class structure of "golden," "silver," "bronze" and "iron" socioeconomic classes. 


In the early 19th century, several “utopian socialist” ideas arose, in response to the belief that social disruption was created by the development of commercialism and capitalism. These ideas shared certain characteristics: an egalitarian distribution of goods, frequently with the total abolition of money, and citizens only doing work which they enjoy and which is for the common good, leaving them with ample time for the cultivation of the arts and sciences. One classic example of such a utopia was Edward Bellamy's Looking Backward. Another socialist utopia is William Morris' News from Nowhere, written partially in response to the top-down (bureaucratic) nature of Bellamy's utopia, which Morris criticized. However, as the socialist movement developed it moved away from utopianism; Karl Marx in particular became a harsh critic of earlier socialism he described as utopian. 


Utopias have also been imagined by the opposite side of the political spectrum. For example, Robert A. Heinlein's The Moon Is a Harsh Mistress portrays an individualistic and libertarian utopia.Capitalist utopias of this sort are generally based on free market economies, in which the presupposition is that private enterprise and personal initiative without an institution of coercion, government, provides the greatest opportunity for achievement and progress of both the individual and society as a whole.
