When entrepreneurs used his invention to play music, Edison thought it was a debasement of his idea. Our widespread misunderstanding of inventors as setting out to solve society's problems causes us to say that necessity is the mother of invention. Actually, invention is the mother of necessity, by creating needs that we never felt before. (Be honest: did you really feel a need for your Walkman CD player long before it existed?) Far from welcoming solutions to our supposed needs, society's entrenched interests commonly resist inventions.
Medium-size dogs are at the midway point between tiny and massive canines, and both height and weight factor into the classification. Medium-size dogs generally weigh in the ballpark of 35 to 65 pounds, according to Kim Williamson of Animal Planet.. In terms of height, medium-size dogs are usually from 1 to 2 feet tall, measured from the ground to the withers or shoulder.
In height they generally range from the Standard's minimum of 27 1/2 inches up to 36 inches for the exceptionally tall ones. They can weigh anywhere from 110 pounds to the 343 pounds of Zorba, the world's largest dog, although most Mastiff males weigh around 160-230 pounds and females around 120-170 pounds.
