At TED 2015, Apple product designer Tony Fadell tells the heartening story of inventor Mary Anderson, who created the world’s first windshield wiper at the turn of the 20th century by using the designer-inventor’s essential cognitive tool: seeing an invisible problem, not an just an obvious problem, and solving it.
Couple with the story of another pioneering female inventor: Hedy Lamarr, who created a system for remote-controlling torpedoes that became the foundation for wifi technology.
