Dr MakaMats

For today’s post I was trying to find some not very interesting facts to share with you all but ended up on a click through trip around Wikipedia looking at inventions and inventors.

Yoshiro Nakamatsu the inventor of the CD, DVD and Floppy disc also know as just “Dr. NakaMats”.  A man that I feel like I should already be aware of, due to his CD, DVD intention.  Today was in fact the first time I have ever heard of him and maybe the first time you have too.

With over 3000 inventions under his belt he is one cleaver but crazy man:

  • He did essentially invent the Floppy disc, but I would argue it was the technologies from that that went forward to create the optical disk, and he did not invent it himself. Now I am done with the pedentary I will agree he is a very clever man. There is something else you should know about him, he is completely mad.
