phonautograph and sending multiple telegraph messages on a single line,
Bell refined the idea of acoustic telegraphy.
By recognizing progress and changing his path, Bell (with the help of
Thomas Watson) was able to invent the sound-powered telephone. By
starting with the idea of transmitting a voice through electricity, Alexander
Graham Bell was able to, through a series of refinements, invent technology
that is used around the world even today. Bell continued to test out new
ideas involving kites, airplanes, tetrahedral structures, sheep-breeding,
artificial respiration, desalinization, water distillation, and hydrofoils.

Jack Dorsey is an American software architect that had an interest in
making “instant messenger” updates available for friends to see. This was a

Three guiding principles of this innovative idea are simplicity, constraint and
craftsmanship.
Jack had an early fascination with cities and how they work, so he would
always carry maps around with him. His attraction with mass-transit and
how cities function led him to taking advantage of public transit databases
in Manhattan. He built off of his original idea that gave meaning to his
overall concept.
Jack Dorsey’s experience helped him see his idea in a completely new
perspective. Taking his seedling of an idea that would update friends of his
status, Dorsey completed several field tests before recognizing that the
technology available didn’t support his innovative idea. There are times
when putting off a project is irrefutable. Jack Dorsey originally came up
with his idea in the year 2000 but wasn’t able to execute effectively until 8
