FINLAND :D
Finland has a pretty great list of innovations that can be found here at the bottom of the page:

Even the finland's greatest comedian Spede Pasanen had like hundreds of patents crossing from "a boat with skiis" to "aw-energy" and "skiijumping jump results countin system"
Nokia cellphones is the most "succesfull" finnish product. They used to make rubberboots that everybody wore and looked cool.
You should really visit Finland some day and smell the boring wind that inspirates us Finns to do crazy things.

Bringing sound to the movies
Thanks to a series of inventions associated with bringing sound to the world of film that he made at the beginning of the twentieth century, Eric Tigerstedt is widely considered one of Finland's most talented inventors ever. Tigerstedt lodged a total of 71 patents in numerous countries between 1912 and 1924. He got the inspiration for his ideas during a presentation of the new motion picture technology developed by the Lumière brothers held in Helsinki in summer 1896, only six months after its première in Paris. Tigerstedt's dream was to bring sound to Lumière's silent pictures and his own film, Word and Picture, which was presented to a gathering of scientific dignitaries in Berlin in 1914, was the world's first successful “talking picture”. Although his technology was never commercialised, he went on to develop the triode and directional loudspeakers. Tigerstedt's ideas also presaged such future inventions as the television and the mobile phone. "There will come a time," he wrote in his diary, "when people will be able to sit at home and follow events around the world through a piece of equipment that I refer to as the electric eye." And in 1917, he lodged a patent for what he described as a "pocket-size, folding telephone with a very thin carbon microphone".

Thanks for the links!
I'd LOVE to visit Finland. It will happen one day as I somehow manage to get to places I wanna get to. Somehow
No problemo. Jamsa <--- the place where they make those dancin shoes, is near where my relatives live. Little shithole actually, but a very beautiful one. MBO's music fits kinda nice in the finnish atmosphere, away from the helsinki city craziness and into the wilderness of the land of thousand lakes. Yeah we should time it perfectly as I've always wanted to go to california, so when you come to Finland, I go to California and then we make documentaries from our trips and put them on youtube under the name "I somehow managed to get to places I wanna get to". But give me like 10 year notice so I can save up the money.
Internet is amazing. The electric eye.
