AMERICA, LAND OF THE FREE(LOADING?)

Are Americans unaware of my thesis? THE ALTERNATIVE TO AUTOMATION AND COMPUTING IS SLAVERY! Perhaps Americans don't know the names of the CREATORS of the ENDOWMENTS gracing our daily lives. It appears that historians and the media and our teachers "don't ask, don't tell". I stumbled on a few items, searched for others. For example, the 1999 World Almanac has a long list of Inventions, pp.601-2, and a long list of Discoveries, pp. 603-4. Remaining ignorant of these ENDOWERS or failing to thank them is FREELOADING. LAST CHANCE FOR REFORM! You won't win a million dollars by correct answers (below), but you can help repay the millions of dollars these benefits represent.
