I would suggest that you select a particular stapler that you are interested in and "reverse engineer" it in your mind.  Does it use threaded fasteners or permanent rivets?  Imagine the riveting process being reversed (like playing a film backwards).  For example, if your stapler has a plastic piece where you press down on it, would it be easier to add that piece to all the staplers in production before assembling the entire stapler?  Try to identify the sub-assemblies (like the plastic piece) to determine the order in which the entire stapler is assembled from many parts.  Sometimes the order is mandatory and irreversible and sometimes it is arbitrary.  You could perform a similar process to figure out how an entire automobile is assembled and the entire motor would be a sub-assembly in itself.  Good luck.

I would credit Jaquard and Hollerith way way back in the 1800s for creating data cards which controlled machines.  The loom used punched holes to configure the weaving process, and Hollerith (according to the website) developed punchcards for data collection and counting purposes.  The data configured on cards was the first "software."

Melvil Dewey, efficiency expert and inventor of the Dewey decimal system, proposed in 1871 to add nearly two hundred new words to the English language, so that more questions could be answered with a single word.\n\nHis proposal has not yet been adopted.

The wire hanger we use today was inspired by a clothes hook that was patented by O. A. North of New Britain, Connecticut. \nAlbert J. Parkhouse, an employee of Timberlake Wire and Novelty Company in Jackson, Michigan, created a coat hanger in 1903, in response to co-workers’ complaints of too few coat hooks. He bent a piece of wire into two ovals with the ends twisted together to form a hook. Parkhouse patented his invention, but it is not known if he profited from it. \nSchuyler C. Hulett received a patent in 1932 for an improvement which involved cardboard tubes screwed onto the upper and lower portions to prevent wrinkles in freshly laundered clothes. \n\nThree years later Elmer D Rogers created a hanger with a tube on the lower bar which is still used today. \n\nThomas Jefferson invented the the early wooden coat hanger, the hideaway bed, the calendar clock and the dumbwaiter.

The Great Idea Finder credits Johnson and Johnson Co. with inventing duct tape in 1942. (see link below)\n\nRichard Drew invented adhesive tape (masking tape). \n\n"Adhesive tape (specifically masking tape) was invented in the 1920's by Richard Drew of Minnesota Mining and Manufacturing, Co. (3M). Duct tape (the WWII military version) was first created and manufactured in 1942 (approximate date) by the Johnson and Johnson Permacel Division. Its closest predecessor was medical tape."

Johann Wolfgang!\n\nHe discovered furfural, worked on the use of platinum as a catalyst, and invented a lighter, known as Döbereiner's Lamp.\n\n:)

No.  Either way should staple the same amount of paper.  It's easier to remove staples if the prongs point outwards instead of inwards.

Johannes Gensfleisch zur Laden zum Gutenberg (c. 1398 – c. February 3, 1468) was a German metal-worker and inventor who achieved fame for his contributions to the technology of printing during 1447, including a type metal alloy and oil-based inks, a mould for casting type accurately, and a new kind of printing press based on presses used in wine-making. The exact origin of Gutenberg’s first presses is apparently unknown, and several authors cite his earliest presses as adaptations of heavier binding presses which were already in use. Tradition credits him with inventing movable type in Europe — an improvement on the block printing already in use there. By combining these elements into a production system, he allowed for the rapid printing of written materials, and an information explosion in Renaissance Europe. Yet, it must be noted that an iron printing press was first invented by Korea's Goryeo dynasty in 1234, 216 years ahead of Gutenberg's feat in 1450.

Blaise Pascal? He invented the calculator. Maybe Isaac Newton, the inventor of calculus, or Charles Babbage, the inventor of the computer. Perhaps John Napier, who discovered how to add, subtract, multiply, divide, and even extract square roots simply by moving pieces on a chessboard? Tell you what, pick René Descartes, he's the inventor of coordinate geometry. These are all excellent choices!
