Other than finding it generally inspirational, I particularly liked the artifact of Benjamin Franklin's daily schedule card/to-do

If you like that you'll love his autobiography:

It's a short read. It's in my top five of all time.

Very innovative. But a segue is missing. Ben Franklin's innovations are shown. Other modern world innovations are shown. How Ben Franklin inspired those world innovations is not shown. A link is missing.
