Mark Twain was an avid fan of technology. He was so enamored with new inventions that by 1894 he had invested $300,000 (seven gazillion bucks in today’s dollars) in a mind-bogglingly complex contraption called the Paige Compositor. The Paige Compositor was a bust, and Twain lost his entire investment. He […]
