What is an invention? It starts with a need. Perhaps people need a better or faster way of doing something. Before long, someone conceives an idea and makes it happen. For instance, before the invention of the thermometer, brewers had to check the temperature of their mash by sticking their thumb into the vat. They had to be careful to get it just right before adding the yeast. If the mixture wasn't the right temperature, the yeast would not ferment, and the batch would be useless. This is why people still use the expression "rule of thumb" to this day.
