What If???

  • What if Creativity was not our forte?
  • What if only speed is?
  • What if all we could do was improvise and not create?
  • What if the reason behind out failures was waning of the genes over generations?
  • What if we as a race did not innovate fast enough?
  • What if we are looking at the wrong problem altogether


Would we survive? As individuals? As communities? As a Nation?

These are some questions I have on why we dont get to  see a lot of “creation of technology” in India.  By creating a wave, I dont mean Tata Nano.  No, that is not technical innovation… The world has Been there, done that! What we achieved with the nano was new business sense… I find it personally impressive.  My question really is: what is stopping us from driving innovation at the snap of our fingers? 1.1 billion people and we still can’t find enough people to roll the wheels???

These questions have been burning in my head for quite sometime and I would love to have a discussion on this… Either here on my blog or on twitter. I’m all eyes and ears :-)

Chao…

  • Let me give this a try...

    •What if Creativity was not our forte? It isn't. It was once upon a time with Aryabhat. After that our engineers creativity worked fantastic not in India, but in US. Which is how the chip was invented.

    •What if only speed is? Speed? We're 15 years behind China.

    •What if all we could do was improvise and not create? We don't even improvise. Unless it is to save costs or get things done within our system. (for eg. 'saving' taxes)

    •What if the reason behind out failures was waning of the genes over generations? Nopes. The rich keep getting richer and the poor poorer. Those who can don't (care). Those who do can't (do anything because of the system).

    •What if we as a race did not innovate fast enough? We'll keep getting left behind as we have since Independence.

    •What if we are looking at the wrong problem altogether: I think we know our problems. I highly doubt we can overcome them in one lifetime.

    And a very Happy Independence Day to you.
