I often receive this question: If Indians were so great at science, why no applications for the same?
By the time technology (For example, Refrigerator – from CFC gas to STAR energy rating) matures and claims eco-friendliness, they create irrecoverable ecological impact.
Civilized and mature societies, despite having knowledge of deepest science, don’t proceed with implementation of such crazy technological ideas. So, despite having knowledge of physics for ages, Television was never invented on our land. Many such technological failures, we avoided democratically.
Yes, only exception of technology usage was self-defense. And there are ample evidences of technology usage in war-poems of this land. But it was never commercialized.
We were one such blessed society. Not anymore. Now we embrace anything and everything blindly.
Any new invention that poisons people or pollutes the environment, must die in inventor’s lab and should never be commercialize. To be patentable, an invention must not be ‘injurious to the well being, good policy, or sound morals of society and if it is still patented, one must not promote it.If technology is potential weapon to jeopardize freedom and livelihood, technology’s value is nil in our time where ethics is not popular practice. And if you ignorantly boast technology’s benefits just for the sake of show up, you indirectly promote future freedom menace. Science research readers and technology enthusiasts invariably fall in practice of boasting technology , blissfully ignoring technology implementation’s aftershocks controlled by powerhouses of the world by patent regime. Beware of such बुद्धिवादी(s) and their discussions.
Greatly noted the reasons and the scope of thought to patent something or not.
Well every such thing should be disclosed after conscious allowance.
