What's going on world? So I was thinking...ideas are powerful. You're probably thinking "duh" but seriously, everything that is, began as an idea. Cars, airplanes, ships, computers e.t.c. all came about by someone having an idea they believed could make the world a better place. The car, with its engine, electronic systems, safety devices, wheels, and what have you is the product of the simple idea of getting people from point to point quicker.
