I GIVE Read the excerpt from "On Becoming an Inventor" by Dean Kamen
Then Bart went off to college and I had use of the
rest of the basement. I stopped doing photography
and became interested in electronics. It was the
early days of disco, when making music and light
shows was the rage. Everyone wanted to buy a box
that could connect to their stereo to create new light
and sound effects. I started building boxes after
school, buying components from a nearby Radio
Shack, and reading up on electronic recipes for
building loaders in the basement workshop. I began
buying voltmeters, soldering irons, and other tools
for making light organs to sell at school and in my
neighborhood. I made enough money to stock more
and more equipment in the family basement.
Which detail shows that Kamen was serious and
passionate about his inventions?
Bart left for college and Dean stopped doing
photography
It was the early days of disco and light shows
were the rage.
He used the money he made to buy more and
more equipment
