[Assam] BW: Can Assam / America Invent Its Way Back?

[umesh sharma]

It might be inetresting to even those in other regions how Americans view their prosperity and its source. Inventing to get rich might seem a very new concept to those of us who have grown up in hoary fiefdoms swarmed by floods or droughts and impaled by landlords and lords  and caste system etc.
 
However, it seems after the onslaught to terror threat invention has been threatened - invention is a creation of fertile minds - terror stops mind work.Also resoruces and effort are diverted to threat prevention. As my father said about terroists in India - a few hundred such people need billions of money units and millions of people involved - diverting vital resources.
 
Any comments in light of terror and case for development thru inventions in NE India.

Inside: This Week in Innovation 









 This week we bring you the quarterly Inside Innovation special report. As the U.S.'s financial turmoil worsens, BusinessWeek Chief Economist Michael Mandel explores the developing field of "innovation economics" to show how smart ideas can create jobs, foster growth, and keep America competitive. Senior writer Pete Engardio reports on how the legendary weapons labs, Los Alamos and Sandia, are aiding corporations in developing new products -- and even spinning off innovative startups. Foreign correspondents Kerry Capell and Nandini Lakshman write about Philips' initiatives to work with nonprofits to tackle the needs of the world's poor. And I report on the Stark, a stylish SUV made in Brazil that's looking to take on the Jeep Wrangler in both the rainforest and Sao Paulo's tony suburbs. Enjoy.
