Benjamin Franklin was an inventor, a scientist, a writer, and a diplomat. A practical man, Franklin devoted himself to improving everyday life. His boundless imagination led to inventions still in use today, such as bifocal glasses, the odometer, and the lightning rod. Perhaps Franklin’s greatest invention, however, was himself. He demonstrated that a poor American could educate himself and become a famous citizen of the world.
