35 Innovators Who Made a Difference

Smithsonian Magazine has a list of 35 people who "made a difference".

Once again I find myself disappointed that the great contribution to human existence made by Otto Frederick Rohwedder is overlooked again! Otto Frederick Rohwedder is the great American credited with inventing sliced bread. What's made more of a difference than sliced bread? Ask yourself how often you've had a sandwich with sliced bread. Now ask yourself how often you look at pictures by Annie Leibovitz or listen to Yo-Yo Ma. Its a terrible injustice.
