He was a brilliant inventor, entrepreneur, and a genius at business. Born in 1863, Ford is regarded as the father of the modern assembly line technology and mass production. The founder of the Ford Motor Company saw a future where machines and employees worked side by side for the betterment of business and society. In today's tech landscape fueled by greed and a lack of business ethics, the words of Mr. Ford are more relevant than ever.
