Tinkering and American Innovation
Monday, November 16, 2009 at 11:00 AM EST
---
Brilliant tinkerers made the American economy. From Thomas Edison to Henry Ford to the Apple computer guys, late nights tinkering in the garage, the basement, the workshop changed the world.
In the late 20th century, big corporate R&D seemed to take over. Bright young Americans headed to Wall Street.
Now, a bunch of them are headed back to the garage. Tinkering again — this time turbocharged by new high-tech tools that put tinkering in high gear.
Could the next big thing, the economy’s turnaround, come out of your garage?

This hour, On Point: The return of the American tinkerer.
