Ignacy Łukasiewicz turned petroleum into kerosene oil, the same basic process for making gasoline today

Cai Lun invented paper (or is traditionally credited with doing so). Sheep around the world should worship this man

Dénes Mihály figured out how to turn radio waves into images. Today we call that the idiot box.
