Standing on the shoulders of giants

Knowledge has become accessible and flexible

Our world is full of invention and technology. Things that no one could imagine 100 years ago could be part of our world.

But after the arrival of mobiles, tablets, Instagram, Facebook, tesla, uber, Airbnb, in order to come across new inventions someone has to create something.

Giants have created a lot, without them we don’t have anything.

To make an example: Tesla is a big company that produces electric cars they are able to do that because the mobile revolution created cheap batteries.

Instagram is built on top of other inventions

First the internet then the mobiles and then the revolution of social interactions. We can say that is all a chain of giants. The success of modern inventions stands on the shoulders of giants.

According to Wikipedia Standing on the shoulders of giants comes from (Latin: nanos gigantum humeris insidentes)and means “discovering truth by building on previous discoveries”
