  As a kid I had this idea of using mirrors for wireless communication. I've never heard of this one before but it makes me very happy! I was thinking of using it for like, torrents or something though.

  Alexander Graham Bell was a successful inventor and made breakthroughs with helicopters and hydrofoils. Definitely not a one trick pony.

    IIRC, Bell ended up wanting to spend his life after inventing the telephone as a scientist and a researcher, rather than tending to the running of Bell Telephone and AT&T.
