Proposal: Cult of Personality

The Washington Post's Leslie Walker contends that society would be better served if people were better versed in what people developed specific technological inventions and innovations. It's a point worth making.

If it's true, per the July/August issue, that "designers are the new rock stars," what of other innovators? Might not promoting and celebrating innovation -- and innovators -- lead to more innovation?
