This is the person who invented the plug that goes into the wall and secures the screw. His name is Artur Fischer, from Germany. The plug was invented in 1958. He also invented the flash that synchronizes the capture of the image. He has 1,100 patents, more than Thomas Edison's with 7. He died in 2016.
