Humanity is acquiring all the right technology for all the wrong reasons.
~ R. Buckminster Fuller (1895 - 1983)
WHO??
Inventor / Philosopher
Birthplace: Milton, Massachusetts
Best Known As: the inventor of the geodesic dome
R. Buckminster Fuller was a 20th century inventor, mathematician and futurist. Philosophically he was concerned with meeting the needs of a growing global civilization while reducing the use of natural resources; his inventions were meant to achieve those goals by simplifying and improving human housing and the objects of daily life. Never quite a mainstream figure, Fuller was viewed by some as an impractical dreamer but embraced by others as a visionary genius.
His most famous invention, the geodesic dome, uses a series of interlocking triangles to create a lightweight, sturdy dome which needs no internal supports.
Fuller coined the phrase "Spaceship Earth."
