To write the complete history of any product’s history especially when it has undergone numerous changes, is no easy task. For starters, the inception, creation, and subsequent development of an idea can have many contributors. This is especially true during the development phase of a product’s history, where many different sources may improve upon existing features or add new ones altogether.

To further add to the confusion, inventors may establish ideas at the same time independently, leading to a debate over priority. Further still, some inventors may develop ideas in silence and privacy. The end result is that these pioneers never receive credit and public recognition.

As any historian can attest, it is inherently difficult to provide a comprehensive history if for no other reason then some information is unknowable. For this reason, and the others mentioned previously, this article focuses more on the more popular and major contributions to the evolution of the SIP.
