TLDR
The breakthrough of wheeling suitcases came in 1987 when US pilot Robert Plath invented the rolling bags that are so familiar nowadays, featuring two wheels and a telescopic handle. In hindsight, Wheeling Suitcases appear obvious, yet we invented the atomic bomb and put people on the Moon before we attached wheels to luggage. The case of the rolling suitcase is not singular. It’s not only discovery that requires a healthy dose of randomness, but also implementation depends on luck, on being the right person at the right time in the right place to recognize a technology’s promises.via the TL;DR App
