Necessity – The Mother of Invention<\/strong><\/div>\n

By Allison West<\/em><\/p>\n

\nI like the word ingenuity. It\u2019s uplifting and positive in its pronunciation and meaning. The Oxford English dictionary defines ingenuity as \u201cthe quality of being clever, original and inventive, often in the process of applying ideas to solve problems or meet challenges.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n

Hand in hand with ingenuity is innovation. Innovators are often characterized as tenacious, focused, passionate, and goal oriented \u2013 and naturally curious, too. \u00a0Great inventions happen when curiosity evolves from thinking about problems to solving them.<\/span><\/div>\n

America\u2019s Early Entrepreneur<\/strong><\/div>\n
Most of us know Benjamin Franklin as a Founding Father of the United States and a signer of the Declaration of Independence. \u00a0He was a major figure in the American Enlightenment and recognized for his knowledge of physics and his discoveries in electricity. His list of inventions is long and includes the lightning rod, bifocals and the Franklin stove.<\/span><\/p>\n

A true Renaissance man, he applied his vast knowledge of complex theories and systems in engineering, physics, politics and writing to help answer the questions and solve \u00a0the problems of his day. He was also a writer, printer and humorist, famous for his satire and wit. Take for instance this Franklin quote (one of several I use throughout this piece):<\/span><\/p>\n

\u201cThere are three faithful friends \u2013 an old wife, an old dog and ready money.\u201d<\/i><\/b><\/span><\/p>\n

No could turn a phrase like Mr. Franklin.<\/span><\/div>\n

A great modern invention<\/strong><\/div>\n
One innovation from the 20<\/span>th<\/span> century was the invention of the compact disc (CD). The <\/span>project that launched the modern CD was started in 1974 with Philips and its research laboratories. Think for a <\/span>moment how the CD and DVD revolutionized how we listened to and stored music and books (remember the climbing CD towers we all had back in the 1970s and \u201880s?) Although now we\u2019re well into the digital age, discs are stubbornly sticking around in many businesses, homes and online distributors.<\/span><\/p>\n

The original, hard \u201cjewel case\u201d plastic CD and DVD cases, however, were less than ideal. They were bulky, cracked easily and left discs susceptible to damage. If you left CDs in a hot car, the cases broke or just wouldn\u2019t close properly. Odds are many of your favorite tunes still have the scratches and skips to prove this.<\/span><\/p>\n

The early CD and DVD sleeves were a slight improvement over hard cases. Some were made of plastic that still turned yellow and fell apart. The crinkly paper ones didn\u2019t protect very well and were slippery when stacked.<\/span><\/div>\n

\u201cWell done is better than well said.\u201d<\/b>\u00a0 \u00a0<\/i>Benjamin Franklin<\/b><\/span><\/div>\n
A Better Mousetrap<\/strong><\/div>\n
Inventor and <\/span>scientist<\/span> entrepreneur Ross Youngs founded Univenture in 1988. The company was originally known for making disc packaging and inventing the Safety-sleeve\u00ae. \u00a0This special disc sleeve was invented to solve the problems associated with traditional CD jewel cases.<\/span><\/div>\n
Why Safety\u2013sleeve\u00ae?<\/strong><\/div>\n
\nThe unique, non-woven, clean room fabric that Youngs patented and incorporated into his sleeves proved integral to its design. Products bearing the Safety-sleeve \u00aeseal still use this material, which allows minute debris to fall through and become trapped away from the disc.<\/span><\/p>\n

Safety-sleeve\u00ae is also 75% thinner than traditional jewel boxes and many customization options are available. Because significantly less material is needed for their production, Safety-sleeves are a greener product because less material is used to produce it<\/span><\/div>\n
