AMERICA IN COLOR - FORD, EDISON & FIRESTONE

Titans of Industry is a marvelous documentary in living color featuring the achievements of Thomas Edison, Henry Ford and Harvey Firestone. For one hour last night I was captivated by this Smithsonian Channel's feature. It was enlightening to see how profound these three men changed our worlds. Now, 100 years later, electricity governs our advancing lives in the 21st Century.

The transformation from black and white to color is miraculous!

All three men were "gigantic in achievement. Edison had 1,000 inventions. Ford revolutionized  the way we travel by automobile. Firestone's contributions in developing the pneumatic tire took a giant leap. Today, all three men's legacies serve as the bedrock to our world's culture.

Today's  TV ads in all three categories reveal how we live. The trio of   inventor contributions amazes me to no end!

Stay tuned for future episodes on the Smithsonian Channel.
