Although our inventions have typically been created with little fanfare, financing, or expectation of return, they have often gone on to play important roles in day-to-day life. Our \"greatest invention\" is probably insulin, which millions of people depend on for life and health. But the light bulb, the Canadarm, and the BlackBerry certainly vie for that honour as well. \u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eSome of our inventions are small: the paint roller, the Robertson screwdriver, and the crash position indicator - the forerunner of the black box on planes. Others are larger: the jetliner, the snow-blower, and the snowmobile. Some, such as Standard Time, are really just complex ideas while others, such as the pacemaker, are triumphs of complex technology. \u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003ePut simply, Canadians are supremely innovative!\u003c\/p\u003e \u003ch3\u003eAuthor Biography\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eJohn Melady is a veteran writer on Canadian history and space exploration.
