@Gisho, thanks. Even before we go too far into patents and such, or whether we have personally taken any steps to self innovate and give hope to  developing govts as they would be too happy to see the private/enterprise sector take it upon themselves to make the changes without even developing the policies and environments. Developing govts are the cause of poverty, misery and economic slide. I came across the Innovation clip today and really liked most of the comments from that EU gathering, says that they too are thinking on the same levels just like some of us on this list, so we are not alone. I can so relate to what was being said.

 

I've never heard of any developing govts discuss such innovative topics except that of how much they can sell off to other countries and create enterprise. So my take now is this: When it comes to innovation, developing Govts must lead the way first and set examples of how its done. We are waiting and following.

 

Rgds.
