Dans un article dont le principal objet est de s'inquieter de la perte de competitivite en matiere d'inventions, le New York Times loue longuement, a titre d'illustration des performaces americaines menacees, le genie d'un inventeur noir, James E. West, professeur a la prestigieuse Johns Hopkins University. Le journal ecrit entre autres que West est l'invneteur de 90% des microphones utilises aujourd'hui. West figure d'ailleurs dans le National Inventors Hall of Fame, a cote des plus grands ineventeurs de l'histoire americaine a cote de figures legendaires tels que Benjamin Franklin et Edison.

| Citation: |
Like more storied inventors who preceded him, he was quickly hooked on the juice - even as he lay shivering from that first encounter. "I became fascinated by electricity after that, just completely fascinated," recalled Mr. West, now 74 and an award-winning research professor at Johns Hopkins University. "I needed to learn everything I could about it."
Over the past several decades, he has secured 50 domestic and more than 200 foreign patents on inventions relating to his pioneering explorations of electrically charged materials and recording devices. According to the National Inventors Hall of Fame, an organization in Akron, Ohio, that counts Mr. West among its inductees, about 90 percent of all microphones used today in devices like cellphones, acoustic equipment and toys derive from electronic transducers that he helped to develop in the early 1960's.
