Ahead of time

Like Apple when they first came out with the tablet there has been many objects that came out ahead of their time. One that instantly pops up into my mind is the personal digital music player. Around 20 years before the first MP3 player was ever invented a man by the name Kane Kramer created a small pocket-sized music player. Unfortunately, he was not able to come to terms with his funders and he lost his patent. If he could have had the idea just 20 years later he would be an extremely wealthy man as the portable music device industry exploded with the creation of the mp3 player and the iPod. This industry is still booming today and entrepreneur Mr. Kramer just happened to come up with a great idea just a little too soon.
