Humans are incredibly cocky. We just come up with outrageous ideas, and then make them real. Aeroplanes, machines made of wood, metal, plastic, or canvas, capable of flying like birds. That was once just an idea in someone's head. Or skyscrapers, buildings so tall and with so many layers that thousands of people can inhabit them at once, for living, or work, or recreation. That was once just on paper, and before that only existent in a head. Telephones, a device that sends the voice of a person through the air and to another device for long range communication. This too was once just a thought.
Computers, cars, microwave ovens, combine harvesters, guns, refrigerators, submarines, digital cameras and indoor plumbing were all just ideas once. Then people made them happen.
Why it is that anyone believed that any of these incredible things would be possible at all is beyond me. But damn I'm happy they did.
