History shows that inventions are often created by more than one individual over a long period of time and are often improvements on existing products.

Many of the world's greatest inventions were created through collaboration and incremental improvements on existing ideas. For example, the light bulb was not invented by just one person, but rather through the contributions of many inventors over a span of several decades. Similarly, the development of the computer involved the work of many individuals, each building on the achievements of those who came before them.
